Nice thicc burnt marshmallow picc. On another note, try out the Andy James or John Petrucci signature Dunlop Flow picks. They don't feel as thick at 2mm because of the logo being stamped instead of raised. The Ultex material is incredibly grippy, even when sweating, and the Petrucci version is much closer to a jazz 3 if you don't like the regular flow size. I swap a lot between Dava's and Flow's for different tonal purpose when recording or just to make a run a bit easier.

I find my biggest issue with picks is them slipping and re-orienting when playing. when i discovered brain picks snarling dogs with the super sharp grip it was a game changer but i never like the bevel on the tip so i would sand them on emmery boards. eventually i found dava picks, prime tones, and other jazz 3 style beveled tips that allowed for pinch harmonics and speed picking but also offered a rubberized or textured grip. I haven't tried the super chunk picks but I have put a concerted effort into refining my pick preference as it absolutely makes a difference on your technical ability with the instrument as well as pick attack tone, because as you say the basic fender mediums that come with your first guitar just don't cut it. I also use thump picks from time to time there's one called a "bumble bee" that uses a jazz 3 and is very comfortable compared to the jim dunlops that will turn your finger purple in 30 minutes. good video dude nice to see a pick video that isn't an artist pimping their own tin of signature picks.

Dunlop Flows are usually made of Ultex, or Ultem/PEI. I recently got into thicker picks up to 2 mm with those, and I noticed that nylon above like 1.5 mm thickness is actually quite sturdy. So I started making my own picks made of 2 mm nylon (or rather, PA6/Perlon), shaped with three equal tips modelled after the Flow. It's pretty nice, and since it's basically three tips (like a triangle pick) it'll last a very long time. What I didn't like about the Flow, especially the 2 mm on, was that they're quite noisy on the high strings. Lots of PING noise on attack.

It makes tremolo picking effortless, it feels like cheating.

having used dunlop jazz 3's and 205 jazztones for years, I bought a few primetone jazz 3's and fell in love. After using those for a few years, I bought some petrucci flow picks earlier this year because they were the smallest flow pick and I wanted to try the hype. Literally all I use now because I can manipulate them to be almost as subtle as the primetone, as useful in lead as the jazz and they flow, so you get the same type of string release as the jazztones. The bigger size actually helps me in hybrid picking as well.

On my desk and in the pick pouch on my keychain are 0.73mm Jazz IIIs for most electric stuff (in white, because they're easier to find in the dark) and 0.73mm Everly Star Picks for acoustic and strummier electric stuff. The thin Jazz III feels almost like fingerpicking without extra pick mass to push through. I like a standard pick shape for strumming, and the star cutout in the Star Picks really is the best pick grip, in my opinion.

I used to use really thick picks, since I felt that they helped smooth out my picking. But a few years back, I realized I got much better tone, attack and note definition with a thin pick, as opposed to a thick one. Especially with rhythm, a thin pick really lets you dig in for an aggressive and heavy attack with clear note definition. I have stayed with thin picks since. I use picks between 0.88 up to 1.14 - mostly Dunlop Tortex.

I noticed that, even with thick picks, their size is important too, and I realized that I like the smaller ones. So, I'm using 2 different Ultex Jazz 3, one of 2mm (main pick), and the other would be around 1,35mm, it's the yellow and thin one. The 2mm was the first of them (I actually bought the yellow because I lost the 2mm for a couple weeks lol), and I immediately started to trem pick, and it felt absurdly nice and easier.

With a nice little heaping helping of Gorilla Snot gluing the massive pick to my paw I rarely launch picks across the room and under the most difficult to move furniture any more. I originally ordered a couple of the Dunlop Flow 420 picks as a novelty because " Hehe, 420", but ended up really liking them. Edit: I guess I should have watched the whole video instead of pausing near the beginning to chime in.

I had settled on Gravity picks. Their takes on Jazz III are fantastic, other models like Razer, Pointed standard or Gold series are great also. They don’t slip or turn in my fingers, so they are great for longer, tremolo picked death metal riffs. So far I didn’t lose any, so price doesn’t bother me as much. Oh and they have Rob Chapman signature one.!..!! I bought one of Purple’s 9mm models, it’s fun, does have some advantages, but I find it little awkward.

The picking does absolutely sound massive while you pick it with the giant blob pick.

When you drop these type of picks, it goes back to you

Fun fact: if you do what I do and grind a bulk load of cheap celluloid blanks so they're pointy, the dust/powder that is leftover is borderline explosive

Wow,I clicked on Purple Plectrum and those are some expensive picks.One was $59.95.I play bass and was dropping picks so I found the V Picks Psycho use by Billy Sheehan and it's about 10 mm the thickest I have seen I bought one for about 12 bucks thinking "how expensive".But I like it.Im gonna look into that 16 mm job you've shown us.Nice work. P.S I went back on and saw one for $89.95!!!! Sold out!!!

once i discovered the Dunlop jazz III picks my life changed. Then I found the Jazz III XL and my life ascended.

After buying a few gravity picks i really liked i bought sheets of Makrolon, a disk sander, a band saw and now i make my own picks. I tried jazz3 variants. My favourite are 6 to 8 mm with a slightly bigger jazz3 form. They do not look as good as factory or luthier build picks, but i like them. I use them for jamming and practice. For recording i still use the red jazz3s.

I love the white 1mm jazz III picks for electric and .75 Dunlop for Acoustic.

Great video. It's nice to hear the different picks in direct sequence. I use Nylon Jazz IIIs. I find them the hardest wearing picks. I remember Michael Angelo Batio saying the same thing. I even sharpen the tip with sandpaper.

Interesting. I used the exact same red jazz 3's for many, many years, and several months ago switched to the jazz 3 tortex.

I enjoy this video. I'm a pick "nerd". I've bought a number of "boutique" picks and regular ones. I like the feel and sound of Chicken Picks. Winspear picks are nice too (and they're in the U.K.). Re fiscal irresponsibility: I have not one, but two Blue Chip picks. They're pretty good, and made out some kind super, super, expensive thermoplastic (I guess Blue Chip has some of this stuff left over after using it to make parts for the aerospace industry or whatever else needs really good plastic bits). I am not crazy about the way they sound, but they are wear resistant. They make very little extraneous noise They'd probably be more useful to me to me on some sort of acoustic instrument.

Cats like Cody Wright get really into pick material and tone testing. The drop test is always a fun one. Example; guitar tracking. Just not sitting right in the highs. You could pull up an EQ, change strings, amp settings etc. Me, I find an area of frequencies I feel are missing and pull out my pick pile and start dropping them on the desk one by one, listening for that range, or whatever jumps out at my ears. I really think picks can make a huge difference in tone and style of playing, for me as a bass player who’s into 50’s and 60’s tones. Can’t play a Carol Kaye line with some nylon feather. I break out something more like my 2.7mm Chickenpick. They’re some sort of, erm, ceramic material? I quite like them, got a pack of different shapes and thicknesses. They all T H I C C, tho.

A medium (.73? Idk, the yellow one) Dunlop Tortex is like my standard pick. I use the round edge mostly. And I keep some thinner ones around, too. Even for bass (sometimes especially for fast extreme metal kinda bass) sometimes you are best served with a very thin, pointy pick. Yeah, viva variety!

I use a small 3mm pick to warm up and 0.7mm when playing. Warming up with a thicker pick really helps me with accuracy

I jump between 3 picks depending on what I’m playing: I mostly play Ice Pix Steel Picks. I also play a Dunlop pick which I can’t remember the name of at the moment but looks like it’s been rolled into their Primetone line, and then I also play a heavy Fender celluloid teardrop pick. I have a set of wooden picks my dad bought me for my birthday a couple years ago that I was using for a bit too.
