Which guitar picks are you using right now? 🎸
Besides the Jazzmaster III black, I'm using thick wood plectrums. They are warm and mellow for jazz solo lines, but maybe not good for thin strings. My newest experiment is with the Dunlop's Chuby 3mm, quite ergonomic.
As an acoustic primarily rhythm guitarist, I've been using the Dunlop Nylon USA .38 for years and really pleased with the sound I get and feel on the strings.
Great video! Meantone Plectra are amazing. I like thick picks (no flex), my favourite materials are acrylic, brass or casein. I went deep dive a few years ago!
I use the Tortex .88 and .73. Unless I’m playing 12 string acoustic in which case I use .66.
Tend to use Dunlop USA nylon .88 and .68s but thinking I should try some others.
If find the tortex spin , so prefer the extra grip of the nylons
As a beginner, I'm currently enjoying Nylon 0.46 mm picks on my end. I like being able to feel the pick bend a bit as I hit the strings.
Ernie Ball Prodigy picks are my new favorite. Jazz III shape with beveled edges.
Thanks for the advice Ricky! I've been using dunlop USA .73 max grips since I started learning last year, I love them but was looking for others to try that might help me play faster so this is really helpful.
Great video thank you very much
😎🎸🎶☮️
Much appreciated ! Thanks !
Really Great Job Man.!❤❤❤
Thank you for your very informative videos Ricky. After trying so many picks I have now settled on the Tortex Flow as the shape is perfect for me (and the material/durability too). Then I just have different thickness for electrical/acoustic as you explained. As you, I found the original Jazz III very nice but too small for my hands. The Jazz III XL was much better size but I preferred the Jazz III JP which I used for a long while. When I finally tried the Flow shape it was "love at first try" ... the slightly wider body with pointy tip, and my preferred material was Tortex (I tried the other Flow but didn't like as much as the Tortex). Now I seem to have the right pick for me :)
Back when I started playing guitar, my teacher gave me a thin nylon pick(similar to the last one) and I had an acoustic guitar with steel strings. For years my playing suffered as I was looking for more controllabilty that the flimsy pick could offer, untill one day I went to the guitar shop and asked them to for picks. I was happy to see the options they had. I finally chose the stubby for its sturdyness and the kind of controllability I always wanted. This helped a lot with my playing. So its always a nice idea to visit few guitar stores and ask them for options and try it out.
I’ve never really thought about this. Always used Fender picks for my Fender guitar. Match made in heaven. I’m going to go shopping for something I can afford. Thanks again Ricky. Your a sage.
Love the advice Ricky!!! I found that if I play surf music I like the thin pick as it is flexible and allows quick strumming. The medium thickness suit me well of playing most types of music on an electric guitar. A thicker pick I feel does well if you're picking arpeggios. also, for acoustic I like the leather picks as there is no extra sound of the pick hitting the strings. Just my opinion.
I started with a really thin sharkfin plectrum. Then I went to 1mm Dunlops, and then 2mm dunlops. Then because of a video somesone suggested 3mm super stubby picks. I used them for a few years. Then I tried the small red Jazz III's and now I play with the black Jazz III XLs. I just think they have more grip than the red ones.
Thaks, Rick. I think we pay tremendous attention to the most expensive parts of the guitar, when a simple change of picks or strings dramatically changes the tone and feeling. Why not a tutorial about strings? There are so many of them in the market...
Great idea!
I never go any heaver than .73 tortex. For leads I cover up more of the pick so I have a really tiny piece of pick visable. For strumming I show more plectrum and twist it to the round upperside therefore its more flexible and rounded. I use the dunlop tortex sharp.
Dunlop .38, .42 for strumming, Dunlop .60 and red Star Pick for picking. I have so many thicker picks that have been stowed away for years.
Pickboy Celltex 1mm. Feels thinner than that - strummable unlike the 1mm Tortex. The first pick that doesn’t fly out of my fingers or continuously rotate.
Don't forget you can "sharpen" picks on the carpet or sandpaper
Currently using acoustic attak stealth picks they are really good better than a jazz iii in my opinion of any material I’ve played them all and the stealths take the cake so far
Dunlop John Petrucci Primetone Jazz III 1.38
I may have tried those as Petrucci is one of my picking influences
I went down the pick rabbit hole a year ago. I bought 1 of every pick Dunlop makes in every material and thickness. Cost me just over $20. I found for me:
I prefer the sound of Nylon for lead
I prefer the sound of Tortex for Rhythm
I prefer the Jazz III shape for lead
I prefer the Flow shape for Rhythm
I prefer with thinner strings a thicker pick
I prefer .73 or .60 for acoustic
I prefer .88 or 1.14 for electric
It's a fun journey that never ends!
How about the dunlop 500 delrin 1.5mm purple have you tried it?
Unfortunately I've always had an awful way of holding the pick with 3 fingers not 2 , so it's really hard for me to pick quickly or as accurately as I'd expect I could holding with 2 . But I currently use Fender tortoiseshell picks .
Thanks for the tip,just bought a pack of six,cheers.
Superb! Which ones did you go for Ian?
Dunlop 47PXLN Nylon Jazz III XL, Red,i used your link,cheers.
a softer, more flexible pick will give you a more compressed sound. a more stiff pick will allow for more dynamics
Been using Fender Heavy for nearly 30 years. Tried a bunch, but nothing fits like the Fenders.
I’ve tried loads of picks Just like most of us on here. The only ones I use now are brain snarling dog. .88 Good price to and a nice metal box.
Dunlop Primetone.
after 2-3 weeks of continous playing, the jazz III feels draggy already , must be my guitar playing , i like to pluck strike it strongly so i can hear it with a low volume amp. since i don't want to irritate the sensitive neighbors by having a loud amp
For my electric I use a Dunlop Flex 88 which is the pick Slash uses. NO I do not play like him LOL for a martin , I use Dunlop gator grip 1.14 and a .96
I thought slash uses dunlop tortex 1.14mm purple?
I've stopped using flat picks and gone to thumbpicks that I file down - find it more "loose" and expressive
I’ve tried black mountain thumb picks. it might sound silly but they feel “claustrophobic”.
@@rickysguitar I've tried those and didn't like them either. I took a basic thumb pick and filed it to a very short "V". (So the tip is exposed as much as a normal flat pick)
Ultex
Blue Chip TP 40. I never thought I would spend $35 for a pick but it feels great, is virtually silent and it shows no discernible wear after using it every day for the past 9 months.
Best pick ever!
Lifelong JD Nylon user. I started on 1.0, but now vary between .6 and .73 generally. Even in bass!plectrum
I have arthritis and sometimes lose grip on plectrums. Friends always suggest Tortex and I find I like .5 in that.
Just bought you book on Amazon
Thank you for your kind support Dave. Have a great Christmas 😁
@@rickysguitar thanks for teaching me music theory!
I'd have bought from your website if I'd realised, it popped up in suggested items when I was ordering some other bits so added it on
Lite picks give me confidance
Ear ache i promised u drink at xmas .. well have one please take a can(tinny out with your dog its boxin day ,, thanks 4 useful guitar tips ..
The pick defining the tone you get from your guitar?? Really? What about strings? What about amp? What about effects? What about volume? What about playing style? Sure the pick is important, but my guess is that if you’re dropping your pick, the most amazing pick isn’t doing you much good.
Nobody tells you about the trial and error with picks when you start playing.
I eventually found my Holy Grail (for the time being anyway) in Wegan 1.4mm triangular picks.
Great for bluegrass on both mandolin and guitar.
They have holes in the centre for easier grip and bevelled edges for reduced pick noise.
They're made of a specific material for great tone and obviously come in different shapes, sizes and thicknesses.
Not cheap- about €5 each, but well worth it.
