Guitar Picks

For guitar jazz 3 style picks, but more specifically the John Petrucci signature jazz 3s and caparison's trapezoidal jazz 3 clones are goat.

for bass i've recently found pic related are perfect. my guitar picking technique is really delicate but on bass that translates to having move a lot more than i'm used to when I need to use a pick, which also means they keep slipping out of my fingers when i'm playing live.

these big chungus picks however not only have a ton of space to grip to (meaning my grip is more relaxed and delicate, like guitar) it's also effectively 3 sided so no matter what way you grab it/shuffle it between your fingers when switching styles, it'll have a playable edge.

If you use anything but standard dunlop you are an autist

I pretty much only play finger style nowadays, even on my electric. I guess being too lazy to look for a pick eventually paid off lol

well, everyone's hands are different so it's very much a matter of personal feel and preference. my two cents is thicker picks are better for lead and thinner picks are better for rhythm. I like having pick flexibility when I strum chords. There is less jarring between strings. I feel like the pick moves more fluidly across all of them at once. This jarring effect is good for lead though. It creates a nice attack on the string that makes every note more percussive. With less flexibility, you also have more control on the tip of the pick, which is helpful at high speeds.

Material is another thing. Different materials will create a different tone from the guitar strings, and they also contribute to the flex and durability of the pick. It's up to you to experiement with materials and thicknesses until you find something that fits your style of play and feels comfortable to you.

The shape of the pick is mostly about comfort in your hand, with the exception of oddball picks like thumbpicks. The shape of the pick's tip will effect tone, attack, and speed.

1.14 mm Tortex Jazz III

>Just the right amount of stiffness, going over that thickness just gets needlessly bulky
>Tortex for the way the edges come flat and wears down slowly into nice even slants
>Jazz III for the point, of course. Used to use XL, but after switching to regular small size it kind of forces you to choke up on it where your fingers should be anyway for most accuracy

It's the perfect pick
