The Ibanez JTC are my current go-to. I killed my Flows 2.0 within 2 days sespite being made of Ultex and being 2.0 mm, so I am currently going for durability. The Ibanez have already survived a weekend without any scratches. Even Tortex Jazz III last me longer than black Ultex. Could it be that the classic yellow Ultex has a different molding process? Even the 1.38 seems more durable than the Petrucci or Flows. The Swiss picks and Chicken Picks are next on my shopping list

Paul I have a question. Just ordered an H/07. And I'm thinking about tuning it down significantly so I can essentially have 8 string lows. Do you recommend this and any tips? I've seen a couple youtube videos of guys doing it but since I've never done it before I'm not sure about any cons (other than not having as high of a note register)
@PaulOuzounov
@PaulOuzounov 4 ай бұрын
Hey man! I think so long as your strings will fit you absolutely can do this. That being said, I would only do this if I had 2 guitars as I think it's really important to have a 'regular' guitar as well as a low tuned beast fiddle. In terms of cons, I think you can expect your lowest notes to potentially sound flubby only because you'd have to use quite a thick string, but knowing Aristides the way I do I think it'll be alright. Mike Stringer (Spiritbox) tunes to drop F# on his 7 strings, so I think that would work. E starts to get a bit heinous but you need to test out strings. Pickups will also of course make a difference; however they can only do so much to give you attack and chug as thick strings make for that flub after all.

I've been using the Jim Dunlop Ultex Sharp 1.14mm for a little while now. I saw Brendon Small and Temmu from Wintersun use them. Fell in love with them instantly. It was ultimately Jeff Loomis that got me into using sharp pointed picks and I can see why. The attack on the strings is just soooooooo good.

08:21 For folks who may not have the money for something like Soothe, Pro-Q, or Neutron, and might not be using a DAW that gives you a dynamic EQ out of the box, Tokyo Dawn Labs has a very good, free 4-band dynamic EQ called Nova that would work for what Paul is describing here.

You're just the best guy, Paul. I've already found a method for finding "my tone" on any given amp years ago, but this is pure gold. I never looked at pickups this way (neck for dialing in bass/depth, bridge for dialing in mids/highs/presence). I might try this with my current sound and see where I land. With most amp or amp sims I found an awesome to usable tone with gain between 4 and 10 (depending on how "gain-y" that amp is), bass between 3 and 6, mids between 4 and 7, highs between 5 and 8, presence between 6 and 8. All depends how much the pickups and the amp and the cab and maybe pedals put accents on certain frequencies. If everything is already incredibly bass-loaded, I might even turn the bass on the amp down to 0 (once had a Line6 plugin amp, where I had to do this, because everything else felt to bassy; quickly switched to another amp in that plugin). So far I never had an amp with a depth knob, so no idea how I'd dial that one in. As always, an incredible video. Hope you are well, buddy.

The JP picks work good for me. They also have JP triangle picks which i find good. Off topic but man your tone is amazing and i can hear all the separate notes when u play the big chords. Maybe we can have a tutorial on how you approach dialing in a tone for rhythm and lead using either a real amp or a plugin?

I have used Jazz III XL, Petrucci´s and Swiss picks (1.3 mm) and in my opinion, Swiss picks are number 1. It´s like combining the playability of a jazz III but with better grip.

Nice vid, think i like that ibanez the most atleast for your hand (the thinner one), idk how it would feel for me of course :p i used daddario black ice pick 0.8 for the longest time and really liked them the most, recently switched to the tortex dunlop 1mm and im completely satisfied in every way i think.. oddly enough, never enjoyed the JP pick

I think the thinner one is stellar - I've been picking around with it some more and it's a very very close battle between thoes two Ibanez ones!! I gotta try the black ice! I think my friend Matt recommended them to me once... Tortex's are a classic for a reason!

I also go between quite a few picks. Been using the Ibanez Elastomer pics quite a bit, they're made from a type of rubber. Different when you first try them but I enjoy using them. I also like the Dunlop Tortex Jazz 3 XL, Planet Waves Blacke Ice 1.5mm and sometimes even A standard Tortex 88 or the Ibanez Steve Vai picks which are similar.
