I only use the eric johnson red jazz 3 pick because that pick is still made with the old formula they're softer. I don't like the new red jazz 3 pick they're just a little too stiff for my liking. Give them a try. You might like them more.

I like the Jazz I, it has a more rounded tip, almost like the round side of a 351 pick, and is easier for strumming chords and for rhythm work, while still having all the benefits of the Jazz III. The Jazz II I think has a less round tip, I think it is more like the tip of a 351, I need to get my hands on some to see. I also use the Max Grip Jazz III Carbon Fiber, and they have a slightly rounded tip, just a little of a material removed vs a regular Jazz III.

Pick importance is so underrated. Jim Dunlop was a giant in the Guitar World, he had so many great innovations. Interesting story of Jim Dunlop, awesome guy, wish I could have met him when he was alive.

Nice tasteful playing

Oh that amp smokes. ;) It sounds glorious.

Nice sounding amps. Not very well built on the inside, though.

Josh Scott knows what he's doing when it comes to hyping up gear. Look at the Bad Monkey he says X pedal sounds like a klon it goes up 500 percent. I waited and got a solo boost for 140 new. So just be patient

I love how he says Rhett schull and shows a pic of Josh Scott from JHS lol.

Whoa! I never would have known about this. Super cool video! I’d love to see one in person but you certainly make it sound amazing

What’s the container you had in the beginning

I can't choose between this and the germanium fuzz face mini

Good vid!

Good video. I actually sold my Notaklon for $215 in December (Order 4000 and something). I decided I was going to put it on reverb for $215 for 24 hours, if it didn’t sell I would put it together. But it sold and I ordered another one (Order 22000+) plus a fender custom shop stool that I was looking at. He was happy and so was I. I figured I could take advantage for the limited availability and someone that couldn’t wait wouldn’t mind paying the extra.

I never understood how or why all the shred guru guys would swear by the stubbies. You know the very small fat and sharp purple stubbies. I used to try these picks over and over and over for many years and just couldnt figure it out. I later changed my picking technique entirely. Misha Mansoor from periphery has this same story as me how he had to change his picking technique. We both used to hold the pick flat with 3 fingers and when we picked, the pick edge would come into contact with the string at a perfect 90 degree angle, making it a very hard aggressive pluck, but also making it very challenging to get across the strings because every string hit would feel like fighting or forcing your way through the string with the pick. Rather later in life people realize there is essentially 1 basic uniform technique for holding your pick, all the pros hold it this way for many styles of guitar, Idk about flat pickers they are a different story. but everyone holds thier pick this 1 way I have found, paul gilbert, yngwie, everyone. holds it this way. pinched between pointer and thumb, creating a pick slanted angle so that when the pick comes into contact with the string, the sharp edge doesnt interfere but rather is slices or cuts through. creating this angle, or pick slant, is why these stubbies were made and you cannot use these picks unless you pack slant. I use the 1.5 white tortex jazz3 now and its the best thing ive ever experienced and has made me level up best bang for buck investment of my time ive ever done to get better at guitar. it was like maybe 6 months after using this pick, with the new pick slanting proper technique, and i was a born again entirely different and MUCH better guitarist. So, if you are not understanding how to use these picks, it is because you are not pick slanting. the pick should cut, or scrape through, there is very little actual contact with the string. if the pick feels like its just bouncing off the string or being stopped, or is too difficult, it is because you are picking wrong.

I really enjoyed this vid and your lessons. It’s a cool pedal definitely but definitely understand selling it

When I began using a Dunlop Jazz III, I didn't think I had found "the" pick. I had. I typically use a Jazz III shape if not the original nylon pick for some playing but prefer nylon Jazz IIIs for playing with others. I greatly prefer Dunlop Jazz III picks. I use garbage picks for rote, boring repetitive runs at home. For proper playing, I use a good pick and wear out the garbage for solo practicing at home.

Stock speakers? A lot of people swapped them out as it’s really the only weak part of this amp.

Hey Way Hude is Dunlop too

i stopped using a pick 10 years ago and never looked back. im so used to using my fingers its awkward when i try to use a pick, but i think venturing out of your comfort zone breeds creativity, change things up every now and then.

Apparently you have never tried the Dava Delrin pick. the very pointy red ones. I don't care about their marketing schtick with the 'control' tip etc., but I will say that the combination of the 1 mm thickness and the pointy Delrin tip are something to be equalled. If you play rhythm they take a while to get used to....if you play lead it's like 'WHERE WERE YOU MY ENTIRE LIFE!?!?'

Pssst, *it’s an EHX Hot Tubes* Jeorge nicked it from them. EHX nicked it from Craig Anderton’s Tube Sound Fuzz.

the hoodie disclaimer earned my sub! i like the way you think!

I was into shred guitar for a while, but when I started playing more rock like green day and weezer, the jazz 3 started working against me. I moved to T3 which have the jazz 3 point and that was a good compromise. Next pick I'm trying is the flow, which I think is going to be the perfect balance of size, speed and tone.

My favorite is the blue tortex jazz iii xl. They wear out a bit fast though but i like their warmer tone.

Been using the Jim Dunlop Jazz III since 1988. A ripping guitar player at the time (Vernon Reid) stated he used them in an interview, so I got one to try - and the red ones do have a different billet-effect than the black ones, for whatever reason...I score the surfaces of mine with a razon blade or knife tip for better grip.

Man tube screamers are so over rated. It’s why I use an exact clone of one from Ibanez.

Try Max Grip Jazz 3!

I've grown past them now, or at least the regular ol' red ones, but jazz 3s literally revolutionized my playing, it was night and day, I was struggling with dead notes any time I would solo because I just couldn't time the pass of the pick and then when I picked these up I could just get *right* up on the string and go from there, boom I was finally able to alternate strings without dead notes. Now it's no big deal, we're talking almost 12 years ago, but without these I may never have passed that point.

Nevera play a fuzz into a clean amp. The same goes for overdrive and distorsión.

I like the purple and ultex jazz 3s. Haven't tried the red och blacks in full size

That's fine, we're all different. I can't stand blues and/or tube screamers. Shite.

I agree, not easy to find a Fuzz pedal that you like when most of them sound very different. I had 2 on my pedalboard but took the one off it that sounds like a swarm of bees and ripping velcro 😂

Man I was so bricked up before watching this... but after! My word I haven't literally shid bricks in years! Came out of me like spicy Cincinnati chili! ooooonweee my brown starish is angry as heck! But thank god for this video, my bunghole is feeling lose and easy breezy! Thanks Tyler

My Ghia will never be sold for no amount of money!!!

That's great that you leave them around - pass it forward! I've been playing Jazz 3's for years. You get used to strumming with them in time. I have a little tin filled with picks, but my Jazz 3's are the ones that sit on my amp anyway lol. Maybe I'll make necklaces or something with all the ones I don't use anymore.

Have you tried the Pigtronix Octavia? Had your issue controlling my fuzz. The mix of drive and blend knobs has really helped me control the tone on it. It's pretty much my overdrive, fuzz and octafuzz I use now. As with a low drive and blend setting you can use the volume knob as a boost pedal and dial up just the drive you want without getting to fuzzy.

I've never heard of someone that hates or hated fuzz

I think your trying to use the Fuzz the wrong way. I think what you want is an overdrive. Its ok, most guitarists never learn how to use a fuzz. but they keep buying them.

I like those spitty tones in the end 😀👍

i’m a simple man, if you’re a guitar player and don’t like fuzz, I click don’t recommend channel

*Promo sm* 💖

Who makes the Honey pick?

I love the MKIV. I’m not as excited about the next version, the Smalls version, because of the different control set, plus the slightly cramped layout. But this thing absolutely blew me away when I owned one. It sounds amazing going into a clean amp too, because it colors that clean sound with just a little bit more heat and dynamics.

As your 103rd subscriber, I'd like to congratulate you on hitting over 100 subs! As a new guitarist researching what should be my first pedal, found this video informative while entertaining. Looking forward to going through your back videos and watching future videos.

I have used (2) jazz3 picks exclusively for practice and all gigs. They are from an older batch and the only 2 left. I have some newer ones from 5 years ago but they don't seem to have the hardness or feel that my 2 favorite picks have. Maybe just my imagination but has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks for this video, I wasn't familiar with the Red Llama before stumbling across the Chupacabra, but did lots of back and forth and eventually settled on the Chupacabra with the Tres Hombres inspired enclosure. They do seem a little different to me and I prefer the Chupacabra out of the two based off this video, but I might have to pick up one of the smalls Red Llama used and see how I like it. Very cool tones and playing!

I actually can't stand the tiny size of jazz 3's. I tried to like them, but I just can't. It makes me feel anxious holding it and the tiny size just doesn't feel right to me, it stresses me out. I much rather have a normal sized pick that doesn't feel like I'm gonna lose it playing.

I’m gonna be the odd one here. I use so many different picks for so many different reasons. Love jazz 3s to work on my accuracy but ultimately, I’m a metal head who’s go to type picks are triangle picks lol. No joke. I love those hogs. I know we can all relate to the guitar pick deep dive. Also, everyone’s opinions and reasons for whatever pick is best are all valid. I will always love in depth convos about picks lol. No joke.

"Leanin' On" sounds real good. Good sound!

I love it sounds good well done!💪💪
