   I got so used to the regular jazz III pick that a normal pick is too cumbersome. For me, the tortex version just feels better. Its only like a millimeter or half a millimeter bigger than the standard shiny red jazz iii but the tortex material is just more comfortable. Although what I just found out is because of that bit of difference in friction, the pick does tend to slide further into my grip after about 10-15 minutes. Not a huge problem since I might take a knife and put a few lines in it. 72 of em might be a lifetime supply since I tend to hang on to them until I cant reshape the tip anymore. *Edit* They dont slide in my grip at all. I forgot I had a thin layer of super glue covering a wound on my thumb.Read more

   These are by far my favorite picks. I’ve tried so many other picks, shapes, sizes, gauges, etc and keep coming back to these. I’d say these are better for lead, but still really good for rhythm. If you are used to a larger more standard sized pick, then these might take some getting used to, but I feel like I have more control with them. You have more space to move around in between the strings and get get more accurate quickly. I use the 1.14mm ones – I have these as well as the white ones just to switch up the colors, but it’s great. If you like everything about these except wish they were a tad bit larger, then the Jazz III XLs would be another perfect pick. The only minor complaint I have is that the edges wear down quickly, as with any tortex pick, so I go through a pick every 2 hours of hard playing, but that’s just me. The tip will stay sharp for a long time unless all you do is pick sliding. The good thing though is that they’re reasonably priced.Read more

   I got a pick approximately the size of these Jazz III picks (only a tad bit larger) with a tablature book that a friend gave me as a Christmas gift. At first, the pick felt a bit weird. It is significantly smaller than a standard Tortex pick. After a while, I got used to it and noticed that I had much more control over my picking and strumming than before. I decided I wanted to pick a few of these up, which (as I mentioned before) are a tad bit smaller than the pick I got with the tablature book. These picks allowed me the same control and feel great to play with. I imagine if you drop your pick often, these might help the problem. Try these out, you won’t regret it.Read more

   I have difficulty with standard sized picks. No matter what I do, they always find a way to fly out of my hand. I am rather fond of teardrop picks because they seems to offer more control and stay where they belong. The drawback is that they always felt too small and lacked the ability to get leverage for stronger picking when dynamics call for it. I thought I would give these picks a shot. I got the 0.50mm, and I love them. They are not too big, not too small, stay where they belong, open my dynamic range … well heck, they just feel right. This is my initial impression, but I have to say that I am very impressed with this design and material. Just like my preferred brand and type of strings, I think I may have found my go-to picks. If you have control issues like I described above, these may just fit the bill for you. They are certainly worth a try.Read more

   Not sure how one can review picks other than build quality. One should understand variation on pick attack and tone based on ones own guitar, strings and pick material used. So it is subjective. I first bought a sample pack of the JAZZ selections, which brought me to buy this particular pick. For my case, i liked the feel and thickness. As for tone for my guitar, it gave me a warmer richer sound based on my own guitar and strings used. So again, I would buy a sampler pack for one deciding on choosing a pick for their particular use. I use this one for my Acoustic mostly, but I also use 3 other types of pick for my acoustic depending on song, situation (picking or strumming) or sound i’m going for. Same with electric. Again, for me and my set up, this gave me the warmer tone i was looking for, as my guitar was brighter naturally. Go for what works with your setup or use case.Read more

   I recently switched from standard-sized picks to the Jazz III picks. My accuracy is SO much better now. I recently tried one of my regular picks and it felt uncomfortably huge. I mean… HUGE! And awkward. I will be a Jazz III user for life now. I have three different kind of Jazz III picks: Tortex 1.0mm Nylon 1.38mm Kirk Hammett Signature (unsure of thickness) I like them all and couldn’t say that any one is better than the others. The Kirk Hammett one has a notch cut out in the top to help with grip. I’m unsure of how well it performs this function, but they can feel weird to a new user. I’ve always loved Tortex and nylon, so I switch between all three types. It would be nice if they sold a mix of all three types so you could try them all.Read more

   I do a lot of picking between acoustic and electric – I like a heavy pick unless I’m strumming so that part I know, the part I’ve been experimenting with is pick size – I bought some big triangles that I found ran in to everything on my electric but were ok for my acoustic. These little guys are awesome for electric picking, I was a little skeptical when I saw how little they looked in my fat fingers but I love them. They hit just the string I want , feel really fast I’m loving it.Read more

   Estas picks dunlop son maravillosas; yo las habia usado en USA, pero se me fueron acabando y ya aqui en mexico no las habia encontrado (tampoco es que las buscara mucho). Ahora las compre via Amazon y son exactamente las mismas que use mucho tiempo. Son pequeñas y lo suficientemente rigidas para razgar las cuerdas sin que la dureza comprometa la velocidad del “picking”. Me encantan. Las recomiendo ampliamente. Sobre todo si no te gustan las uñas grandes o suaves. 0.73 mm es un grosor adecuado.Read more

   Best picks. If you like jazz 2 red picks ( They were it for me) these are even better. Fir my playing. Not as slippery as the red jazz. More bite. Worth a try if you are searching for something different and you play with small picksRead more

    Estaba buscando unas púas más pequeñas que las estándar, y estas creo que son demasiado blandas. Se trata de un espesor sólo para rasgar, y para eso son mejores las de tamaño estándar. He probado las de .60 de espesor y creo que son lo mínimo para rasgar y puntear.Read more

    Están mucho más pequeñas que una plumilla normal, seguramente porque son de Jazz. El material Tortex es muy bueno, pero no tan flexible como yo lo necesitaba.Read more
