I never put much thought into picks either but I got a pack after you talked about them on Cheddar's channel. They are great. That soft feeling without being soft is something I can't even explain. Between that and the beveled edge they just seem to glide across the strings.
Picks have a pretty noticeable effect on both tone and on playability. The bevelled edges on these picks is great for anything involving speed. I'm learning to do pick slanting (both upward and downward - check out Troy Grady) and these picks are sort of necessary for that.
Awesome picks
''I'll never use anything but Dunlop Primetones''. Here, try a Jazz III. '' I'll never use anything but a Jazz III''. Prodigy Mini, ''hold my beer''.
I went to get my standard Dunlop picks and they were out. Grabbed a bag of these, and they are amazing. I recently tried a Dragon Heart pick, and hated it, even though a bunch of channels posted rave reviews. This pick is my favorite by far. Your Excalibur reference is perfect, it's exactly what I felt when I tried it for the first time.
pick of destiny
Finish the sentence: The best thing to happen to Ian’s right hand since...
Hahahahahaahahahahahahaah!
Brilliant.!
I lol'd. Love these pics. Ordered some when you went all fan girl about them on Sean's channel. 2.0s are great.
I totally fan girled
Toilet paper was invented
The 2mm mini prodigy blew my mind. I’ll never use another pick... it almost feels like cheating, but I’ve never been able to pick so precisely.
I know right?!
I like them as well. They are good for strumming as well
I agree. Best pick for me.
Thanks for the suggestion. I ordered a set. Looking forward to trying them. Appreciate it.
I’m playing jazz, and cannot deal with those tiny ‘jazz’ picks. That said, I’m using the 1.5mm Prodigy Sharp and it’s awesome. I’ve been using pointy picks for decades, and these are the best yet. They set the stage for very precise picking.
New subbed here, great channel. I just got the 2 mm jazz, holy crap are they small. They seen a little smaller than a jazz 3
A pick with a mind of its own and knows where to go. WOW I'd pay a lot of money for one of those. Love from New Zealand.
I happened across a small selection of Winspear picks in a used guitar case - they're bizarrely comfy and grippy and the notes just sing. Made me a believer, and then I went and looked at the prices to get some more... woof.
I have these for a few days now, the first hour was a nightmare.
After that it turned into the best pick so far
My favorite pick too
God damnit! where is it?
1.5 mini's on their way to me. I am also checking out a "Screamer" from V-Picks. Thanks for the video Sir !
On the basis of your previous disdain for particular picks , just ordered a set from AMZN 😆👏🙏🏽🌴🏡
I love Jazz 3s and Dragon heart guitar picks. The thicker the better! I'll definitely have to check these out. Thanks mate!
Hey Ian I’m going to check them out. I have in the past used picks from a company called V picks. They are made out of acrylics and as they heat up they get slightly sticky to the touch and are also precisely beveled. I’m hoping the Ernie Ball picks are similar but hopefully cost less. I never mentioned the V picks to you because I was aware that you weren’t that picky. Haha
Hey Dean, believe it or not. I had a V pick.... it’s somewhere there in that jar.... not saying anything bad... the Prodigy just felt right. Rock on
It’s funny Ian, when I first found your channel one of the first things I asked for help with was holding onto my pick. It was always turning and falling. I’ve gotten to the point were I could use any pick and it didn’t really bother me anymore except at the end of freebird. Here we are full circle.
Just over 10 dollars for 6 picks
A 5 minute talk (with video) about 1 pick, That's amazing in itself...but you had me at the title. Can you do one on your favorite E string?...either one. ; }
2mm seems bonkers thick to me but I'll have to see what's good with that thickness haha good stuff
So, went to the local Sam Ash a couple of days ago and picked up a bag of the Prodigy Mini and have to say I love them. One problem, they only had the mini and those are just too small for me. I also bought the Everlast and those just don't have the feel of the Prodigy. The don't have the non-slip or beveled edges. BUT I did learn that I like the feel of a thick pick! I've always played picks of the thinner side but as far as feel goes these are great. They do have a slightly warmer sound but a little tone tweak and it's all good. As soon as I see the larger Prodigy I'll be picking those up. Minis don't seem to affect the tone as much as the Everlast.
Dunlop Jazz 3 is my fav and like you I tried many although not as many as you lol im gonna try em ty stich
I will give em a shot. I like the Telefunken graphite 2.0 picks best. Great beveled edges and won't bend or break. They are in the same mold of Adamas picks Jerry used as well as Trey.
Mine is the HERCO!
I had just changed up my pick game and then I tried these and they instantly became my favorite. I like the reg size 1.5 version, I have not tried the 2mm but the 1.5 is hard enough and smooth like butter
I own 1.5 also and love em especially for speed metal death metal i have the 2.0 but kinda too hard thick my gauge is 56 to 13s
my problem was with larger picks is that after a while the pick would shift and I would be playing with the SIDE of the pick. Im a 40 year old beginner but when I tried the smaller picks that problem went away and I felt more in control. anyway ty Stich
They do have mini Prodigy picks, and I’m not trying to force you to buy them but when you come across one let me know what you think.
Thanks for the pick-tip!
this is unrelated but have you considered making a video showing how to improvise over scarlet begonias, following the chord progression? I would love that!
Welp, you could have sold me on the benefits of picking with a rusty butter knife..ill try em
Just ordered the 1.5 mini's
Sounds like the "Pick of Destiny!" 😆 I'll try them out!
Your favorite Plectrum 😉👍
Have you tried Wegens? It looks like a similar material.
Those Prodigy's seem real nice. I want to get a few and put them up against my hand made Zenfire picks for tone and feel. I don't know if I could ever switch, but I'm curious.
I find em a bit grabby, but i do like the shield picks
I have some of the 1.5mm Prodigy picks. I like them quite a bit, but I hardly touch them since I got my Hell Guitars Super Blacks. Hell bevels the picks at the edge you’re supposed to play, so the pick has an almost imperceptible twist to it. I personally love the Hell 2.0mm as well as the Jazz pick prototype they sent me for free. If you don’t know them, they’re out of Japan. So far as I know, you can only order the picks directly, but they ship for free-plus you get a personalized, hand-written note & a follow-up email to let you know they’ve shipped. I doubt I’ll ever pick up anything else ever again. As good as the Prodigy picks are, the Hell picks are smoother & faster. I also think they have a better tone (to my ear, anyway).

Interesting , but do try the 2.0, they are made of a different material than the 1.5. Rock on
Hi, I love the tone of both your electric guitar and acoustic guitar in this video (that last electric chord you strummed sounded like a piano). What brand electric is that? Ron thorn? And what model Taylor is that? Thanks-love your lessons!!
I'll give it a whirl... 👍🏻
That just happened to me this week with the Dunlop Flow pick 2.0
Have you compared the two?
Have you tried the 2mm Adamas picks? My favorite but I will try these out as the Adamas aren’t that easy to find all the time.
Sounds good! You are using it for picking in the video, but how are they for acoustic strumming? I can't really imagine using a heavy pick for that.
I must consume that product
Looks and sounds interesting, I called all music shops in my area and they just don't exist! Maybe I need to import one ;-)
I finally got one in the post. I made the mistake of clicking on the mini and it doesn't seem to have the serration on the bevelled edge. Don't know if it is all that great after all but I will give it a fair use.
I've changed my mind about these Ernie Ball Prodigy picks. After a good trial period, it's the only pick I want to use. I think what makes it good is the material. A local manufacturer has conveyor belt parts cast with Polyoxymethylene (same material with lots of names). I bought a whole sheet for the price of 2 picks and I'm experimenting with shapes and bevel angles.
Your Excalibur reference is spot on. I've used the 1.5mm picks for several months now and my (very similar) random pick jar has gone untouched since. I'm going to try the 2.0mm Prodigy next!
what you think about Jazz 3 picks?
hi stitch, can you please do an in-depth review of the phred tele? I've been be patiently waiting
Dean Seidman I did a live review when I got it. Unfortunately I was going to do a review about all of my friend Guitar is in depth, but UPS smashed my Trey copy. So I’m working with Phred to get another one. When I do I will do an in-depth review for all the guitars
I use orange Dunlop 0.60mm tortex picks, how am I going to switch to 2.0mm?? Is there a thinner version of this pick?
Thank you, I'll definitely try these out! By the way, do you know (or anybody else) which picks/plekrums Jerry Garcia used? Thanks in advance!
adamas graphite picks 2mm
Zane Thank you so much! All the best! ☺️🍀🎶
I still don't think they compare to a Bluechip, other than a prodigy pick being considerably cheaper to purchase.
Which is harder black or white?
Well they are the same but the white is smoother to the touch and I Love it
U still using it until now or you found a new pick better than this?
Still use them BUT I either lose them or give them to students to check out and then I find myself hunting around the house which then gets hard.
How quick do they grind down?
Honestly just took a look at them and there seems to be minimal grinding down, so not that quickly
They way you describe it exactly describes my Chicken Picks.
That melody at 3:00 is that a song or you just came up with that ?
Anyway pls make a lesson about it or just tell me the name .
Thank you for everything Ian
That song is called “Over The Hills and Far Away” by none other than Led Zeppelin.... fantastic song to learn! Rock on
StichMethod Guitar thank you a lot you re the best
Remember This....you can pick your friends,and you can pick your nose...but you must never try and pick a friend who trys to tell you what kinda of pick you should use when he wont even pick your nose for you....Thanks bro....
I haven't been that picky about picks since I took up the guitar again a few years ago. When I was a younger person I used to go over to my guitar teacher's house and he always had picks laying around with beveled edges that he beveled himself with a file. They were better than ones without the bevel to me.
Fluffhead was a man!
With a horrible disease
Can I have one? 😭
I cant stand the jazz picks. I always seem to drop them
