Dunlop James Hetfield Black Fang VS White Fang

[@Mmike3680]

The White Fang is awesome. It’s the only pick I’ll play for anything from modern country (yes) to metal. I keep going back between the 1.0 and 1.14. Such a great feel with this pick.

[@Sk8Riffer]

Hell yeah it is!! I haven't touched any other pick since I started playing these. I haven't tried the 1.0, but maybe I'll grab a pack just to see how they feel. Thanks for watching, and subscribe for all new videos every week. Have a killer unboxing this Wednesday 🤘

[@Mmike3680]

I have the 1.0 and am playing them more than the 1.14. I think the 1.14 plays easier, but I like the 1.0 tone a little more.

[@Sk8Riffer]

@@Mmike3680 I'm gonna grab a pack and try em out. I might just like them more too 💪

[@jaydenscovel8544]

I thought that part where u called out hetfield and put the "yeah" from fuel was funny as hell😂😂

[@Sk8Riffer]

😂😂 Thanks my dude!! And thanks for watching 🤘

[@Leon.16]

Got these white fang picks from my mom as a Christmas present. Haven't used any other pick since😂

[@MontenegroChaos]

Grandkids, man best present any man could ever be given, especially since I don't deserve them

[@TMK8908]

Just got the White Fang today as a birthday present to myself, and I used them this morning with my Jackson Kelly and love em! I have the Black Fang as well, but love The White Fang even more

[@MontenegroChaos]

He is the only person in this entire world that makes me come apart at the seams. Feeling like I won't ever see him. Nothing else matters

[@PTRK490]

I still play with the purple tortex standard 1.14 but I gotta say, I’m very impressed with the white fang. I have the 1.14 size and I love it. I tried the black fang but didn’t really like it at all. So white fang all the way🤘🏽

[@bergy4367]

i recently ordered the white fang to try it out and i was happy to see a textured grip on the pick i currently use the black fang and i get pretty sweaty fingers but overall solid picks hope i like the white fang just as much if not more.

[@Sk8Riffer]

I'm the same, I get sweaty fingers so the more grip the better 💪

[@MontenegroChaos]

I met a cool kid at the Marshmellows sculpture outside jean Nevada. Played the guitar. He gave me a white fang pick.

[@6stringermadness]

You got to admit James Hetfield is the man

[@mayonnaisepsychology1014]

I got the white fang today and I love it. It has a great feeling but there’s one problem. That problem is the paint chipping off. Otherwise they are very good.

[@Sk8Riffer]

I never had that issue. Actually one issue I had was them getting a bit slippery when my hand got sweaty from playing. I've since started playing the Bea flows and absolutely love em. Give them a try, only $6 on Sweetwater. Thanks for watching 🤘

[@mayonnaisepsychology1014]

TheWoodsman might take you up on that advice. Keep the vids coming and rock on! 🤘

[@Sk8Riffer]

@@mayonnaisepsychology1014 hell yusss! You're subbed right?? 🔥

[@UseTheSupeRsonic]

I prefer the Black Fang. it's definitely harder to play with, but once you really learn how to hold it (it likes to be more flat on the string) and how much pressure to keep on it, it's BRUTAL sounding and it doesn't spin like Jazz IIIs tend to. I think the Black Fang sounds kinda like playing with a sharpened coin. It's really chalky and thick sounding and has an almost violin bow scratchiness to it. Not a great pick for leads, but it destroys for Thrashy rhythms. Any kind of Flow pick is gonna sound awesome, but my issue with them is their point goes dull too fast. I get about a week out of one.

[@hudsonthomas7001]

That point with the white fang helped me with the soloing

[@Sk8Riffer]

Yeah the shape is designed very well. The flows have become my go to picks. Thanks for watching 🤘.

[@terran236]

love the tone of the black fang, ever since i started using the thing years ago i havent switched to anything else. I find the sharp tone amazingly chunky with a defined attack. Every note sounds and feels like it was picked by satans nails. Really thinking about the white fangs now. so sick! Thanks for doing this video!

[@Sk8Riffer]

Hell yeah!! I loved the black fang too when I tried em. I still do, but just wait till ya try the white fang dude, it's a game changer for sure. Thanks for watching and for the sub🤘

[@MontenegroChaos]

Found a red guitar world pick on the sidewalk at my buddy's grocery store where he worked tho

[@juanpabloporraslara5318]

White fang it's so far My favorite Guitar pick! Cool grap, good for galloping and i havent tryed the Black fang cause i havent find it yet but it seems that white fangs are better for what i have read on the commentary

[@King_V2]

I used .73 ultex sharp now I use Blackfangs. It's the same pick but tad thicker

[@russianblackmetalist5802]

Tried both. For me (maybe the color, looks, size.. I dont't know) the white fang in my hands seemed somehow oldschool (no doubt it' still agressive and energetic) and the black fang - opposite, feeling modern. For some industrial metal/blackmetal the black fang feels just right. Today ordered 36-item pack of those 1.14 blackfangs and I play so rare, maybe it'll be enough for me for whole lifetime, ahhah).

[@ellesartelcontar153]

I tried both for long time. Surprisingly, I went back to Black Fang. It has a more aggressive top and I have a better control when I shred faster. But I do agree the material on Black Fang is less endurable than the White Fang. I guess its up to the taste of the person playing

[@Sk8Riffer]

Yeah it’s all personal preference. I enjoy both honesty. There are so many good picks out there.

[@olliecarson5150]

I can’t quite decide between the two, I think if I had to choose, it would be a white fang. I like the graphic better.

[@brianbarnett100]

Thanks man for the review, getting mine today I will see how I like them

[@Sk8Riffer]

Hope ya like them!

[@MontenegroChaos]

My birthday is Friday. Wish my boy his mom and entire family would be waiting for me to finally see for the Best present ever

[@mxrocketbeats]

i really wanna try these, i usually like a 1.5 but i do use some 1.14s so i think ill really like them, glad the white ones are more durable i hate when they get chewed up after only a few jams, lol

[@MontenegroChaos]

Thanks buddy

[@frankmartinez6402]

Dude James hetfield Rarely slides with his picks , he's king of down picking. Granted he slides once and a while. I've used these since 2014, I've never had any issues, everyone plays differently some have heavier hands then others.

[@Sk8Riffer]

Yeah I know he doesn't, but I was giving my honest opinion about em just in case people did use them for slides. I think they're great picks, just think if you're using them for slides they'll get chewed up fast. Honestly I don't slide that much either, just happened to be tracking a song where I did. I've actually been using the new Bea flow picks and those have become my new favorites

[@Coggler101010]

It's worth mentioning that the statement about their size being same is a bit inaccurate. Yes, they are about the same width and have a similar feel, but the black fangs are a bit longer. So if anyone prefers a slightly longer pick than the Flow pick (like the Dunlop TIII, or Clayton Black Raven), go for the Black fang.

[@MontenegroChaos]

Man I would love to tell him all my crazy stories

[@MontenegroChaos]

I never have met my son. But for some reason you remind me of him

[@northerner7782]

It's why you see James throwing picks sometimes after slides

[@Sk8Riffer]

Haha yeah man. They're great but damn, they don't last haha. Thanks for watching 🤘

[@MontenegroChaos]

I don't believe in coincidences however. Looked the pick up (White fang) after two months and your video popped up

[@chrissampsonmusic4806]

Hiya back kiddos! I dig the black fang 🤘🏻 especially for the chunky riffage

[@Sk8Riffer]

Yeah the black fangs are awesome. If ya like those you should definitely give the white fangs a try. They're both really great for riffage though. Thanks for watching 🤘

[@GaryStudio]

Black Fang is awesome!! With this pick Metallica's riffs come easily 🎸🎸

[@Sk8Riffer]

Haha it is a great pick. I've been enjoying the flow shape lately. Thanks for watching 🤘

[@GaryStudio]

That's right! Shape of James Hetfield's downpicking 🤘🤘

[@Sk8Riffer]

[@sergejkrynycky728]

Hey man! Thanx for the video! You mentioned that doing pick slides with Black Fang was leaving the sides eaten up. Does the same happen with the White Fang too?

[@Sk8Riffer]

Yeah

[@lern2swim]

I just started using the White Fangs after having the Black for a while. I find that the White, if anything, wear faster than the Black. Love the flow shape though.

[@iansmiler]

You just sold WhiteFang Picks to me :D Arriving Wednesday - Can't wait to thrash'em :D

[@Sk8Riffer]

Haha awesome!! Wanna get some REALLY good picks...I just released a signature pick. Have the vid on my channel, you can check it out. $7 for a pack of 5 🤘

[@MontenegroChaos]

And a cop straight stole it outta my wallet. Thought he was slick. I would have called him out but, hell, it was one of those weeks.

[@dr.excalibur9818]

White fang is cool

[@mister-cantes]

After 2 years, your opinion of the pick is still the same? I'm a beginner trying to get decent picks, since I i've been using cheap crappy picks for months...

[@Sk8Riffer]

Yeah these are still cool. I've since moved to dunlop flow 1mm picks. I've found them to be comfy for my style.

[@mister-cantes]

@@Sk8Riffer Thank you for the reply, I'm definely buying them asap.

[@Sk8Riffer]

@@mister-cantes enjoy!

My kid has a tat on his hand. Only way I would recognize him. I'm always looking at hands hoping I see him
