Picks, what you using?

EB Prodigy and a few others Delrin Tortex JazzIII, Depends

I use the black Petrucci picks. They're like an oversized Jazz III.

I just ordered something a little different… tusk from graphtec … might be too rigid. We shall see.

Let me know what you think. Those look interesting, and I do like graphtech products.
Wish they had a 2mm option but these could be stiffer anyways?

I went with .88–1 mm… It’ll be interesting to see if they flex. I imagine it’s a man-made stone with some kind of resin. Dunno

I’ve tried all picks under the sun, from 20,000 year old mammoth tusk to Blue Chip.
Fell back in love with a simple Dunlop delrin, what I used when I was like 18

They are weird , when you get them drop one on the table and listen.

I've used quarters in a pinch, and I love the attack they produce.

I figure they’re going to be a little Bizzarre… Don’t really expect them to work out, but they’re not that expensive.

It sounds like glass.

It sounds like glass.

I may end up liking those if I ever try them?
Dunlop Flow 2.0 sound glassy when you drop them and those are my favorites.

These take glass to a new level.

Now I'm interested, haha.
I like stiff and bright picks. It's amazing how much a little pick can shape the sound.

They do bend a bit which contributes to the weird. I would like it if the shape was a jazz 3 xl.

What about acoustics? I use totally different types for this. I have 1mm nylon Dunlop for regular acoustic and Wegen big city 1.4 mm for my Selmer style. I makes a huge difference in tone. Getting the right tone In Gypsy Jazz means you need to pick in a completely different way. I keep going back to my usual style in difficult situations and while I can play it the tone is not right. Every string move starts with a down stroke regardless.

Dunlop 208

I was a jazz iii user for about 15 years then switched to Dunlop primetone 1.5 about 6 months ago.
