So funny, I use them exactly the same. I use the 3mm big stubby for everything, rock, blues, jazz, funk....everything. It takes some getting used to but you can use them for anything by adjusting your grip. I went through hundreds of different picks but since I found this, never looked back.
I love my big stubby... I drill a 3/8 hole in it so my fingers touch and I never drop it....
Ha! I do the same thing
That’s a great idea
How did I only find this now? lol. I've always done the same thing, in fact, I've tested drilling 3 holes in different patterns to find the best one. There's a perfect configuration of 3 holes that I found, but it's hard to get it right without more precise drills.
I use the little stubby and drill 3 small holes in a triangle for the same effect, but I can also use the rounded sides for fatter tones. It makes these vary versatile.
I had a regular big stubby at first, but found the little stubby made me more accurate and efficient, so I stuck with it. I'm a fan.
The pick is the most underrated tool in your arsenal. I thought that I was being OCD about picks, but the truth is, the pick can affect your playing, especially as you advance in your playing. It's helpful to use different picks and experiment with touch and tone. I just ordered these picks for the first time...
i only started using these after finding one on the floor at school years ago. love them!
I make my picks out of coconut shell. I've used a lot of big stubbies but the coconut has a lot more natural friction against my sweaty fingers and lasts for ages compared with the big stubby.
Still they were my favourite untill I started making my own.
Not sure if kidding or serious
Well.. What can I say.. It's exotic?
but the curvature of the shell doesn't mess up straightness of pick? (big stubby player here)
@@beeftheheat No, it doesn't. The coconut needs to be big enough of course. Some of the picks I made are about 2 mm thick, some are a little over 3 mm.
@@aaronstonebeat Thanks for the tip. Had a wood pick which provided benefits you spoke of, but it only had indent on one side so tired tip of finger joint unlike double indented Stubby. and it wasn't thick enough to keep digging out indent
I`ve been using the big stubby 2.0 for 10 years now, my guitar technique improved a lot since then because before I never felt comfortable with soft and flexible picks. I also learned how to adjust it while playing. The angled tip makes it perfect for fast genres with tremolo picking like extreme metal.
Claus, what a fantastic coincidence, I ordered friday from Guitar Center, and took delivery just yesterday, 2 dozen of the Big Stubby 2.0, also 2 dozen of the Stubby Triangle, which is like getting 3 picks in one! The Stubby Triangles also give you extra leverage as well, which I really like for rhythm strumming. Check them out, too. It is mind boggling how many different picks I've tried over the years, including modifying picks with glue, all kinds of different tape, sandpaper, etc. A very timely video, indeed!
As a big stubby 2mm user from ages now I must say I can't use another pick and I tried! It's just perfect, the only complain about them is that's harder to do pinch harmonics with'em since the strings are a bit farer from your finger tips but you can work on it and it's the small price to pay for absolute comfort and efficiency
It's like the strats of the pick. the design is all about comfort no unnecessary weird ass shape. By the way do you also use the Nylon version of this pick?
@@thanginamo360 I used to! but it feels less rigid for me especially when doin' fast alternate picking or sweeps, it was more difficult to feel every string and "hit" through my fingers so I quickly returned to the regular version
Absolutely love this fella. Plain clear logic applied to the guitar. Thank you,.
YEP I FOUND THESE BY ACCIDENT AND WONT PLAY WITHOUT THEM!
Been playing for 30 years and I have always hated these picks. Until last week and…now I love em and I just can’t understand why I have been neglecting them for ages haha
Tortex Flow is the best pick I've ever tried.
Jim Dunlop Jazz III 1.0m all the way for me since 1995! I used Stubby's 2.0 and 3.0mm before that and other plectrums (picks).
I used to use the 3mm long ago but the tip of the pick would pivot in a circular motion while I was playing and I didn’t like hearing all the pick noise created by the pick’s surface. I chose to go with the 1mm so I had a better grip and more fluid strumming.
I’m using the Clayton Acetal 1.26 mm. I will try this one for another experience.
I recently discovered these picks and laughed so hard at the idea of using them
Then shit got very serious and real as I not only loved them!!
I immediately loved them!!!
My speed picking shot up by a mile in the most amazing way among major improvements with all other techniques and like youve said
They have that snap
These picks are best by a landslide!
Love them thick to thin used them for years on all my guitars blade strat ar ibanez always sound great great to use 2.0 mm never let me down 👍
i've been a big stubby 3.0 player for years since i first tried them. much less shocking to finger and wrist musculature and i find them quite articulate. but was just playing a part with a Dunlop Flow Gloss pick the other day and was able to hit notes easier. but the Stubby has that great indent which helps it slip around less.
I appreciated the level of detailed knowledge in this vid. should help many players. Subbed.
I’ve always used Dunlop jazz iii, but I’m going to transition to a larger pick. I have a pick depth of around 2 mm, makes pinch harmonics a breeze. However, I want to increase my dynamics.... and the fact that my hands are much larger than when I began playing.
are bigger picks better? ive been using the jazz iii's as well
@@p10rambo it really depends on what a persons trying to do, I feel like you get more control with the larger pick, never been a rhythm player but the attack is more responsive.
@@p10ramboI was a Jazz lll player for many years and for single note picking they are great but they are difficult to hold while strumming. If you’re doing both picking and strumming like I do I’ve learned that bigger picks give you a tighter grip when strumming and pointy picks are great for single note precision. This is why the Big Stubby is kind of the best of both worlds IMO. You can also try the Dunlop TORTEX T3 picks which are similar.
Love em and they don’t wear out on the tip....bonus! 👌
People talking about the Big Stubby's being slippery........Get a 3/8's drill bit and drill directly through the center of the picks for the ultimate grip......been doing it for 12 years.....best picks ever designed and been through them all.
Great idea!
And by the way. A brilliant explanation of why you use them. If these are available our use the Dunlop gator black pics. The thickest ones. I mean I don't often play 160.bpm. but I simply couldn't with a flexible pick
I know I could edit that but, I'm ridiculously nostalgic. And I like getting Hearts. What that meant to say was when the big stubbies aren't available I use the black gators. Lol
Dunlop big stubby is are easily my favourite picks for guitar. You can play so fast with these. I don't like guitar picks that flex like you. Original reason for switching to these. Was I was sick of getting my other guitar pick stolen. Now that never happens lol
Terminator guy! I just want to say awesome that you've branched out from acting after your franchise went downhill. I fully support this! Shred on my cop cyborg friend and as your enemy would say "Asta la visita baby".
I couldn't play Long Train Running with a pick that thick!!😁
My go to one is the kirk hammet style jazz III
I like the sharp edge of those but they are so incredibly small with that extra v shape taken out that I just cant keep hold of them. The sound is excellent of those though....look nice too in purple sparkle. Love purple....
I’ve been using that for a few years now ,but just getting into the 2.0mm stubby
MAX-GRIP® JAZZ III CARBON FIBER is my choice. However it is quite personal.
Great, nice Squier...:)
I love the big stubby, I use the side of the pick not the point. But I have a very hard aggressive sound. It is the only pick I use for the past several years. I used to use the dunlop he talks about, but now it is a big stubby or a coin.
The point, and the material of the Big Stubby would make it my favorite - but I hate the doughnut hole. Otherwise, it would be my favorite. I "filled" the hole on both sides a little bit using round Greco grip stickers. I mainly use Jim Dunlop X-H Gel Picks (yellow) and I file the tip a little sharper so that works well for me. If the Big Stubbys had less doughnut hole, I would switch. The Dunlop Jazz III picks are great too, but for me they are too small. Poor me, LOL. Can you tell I lean towards Dunlop? :D
Did you try Dunlop Jazz III XL ? It is bigger version Jazz III
@@alexmag5735No I haven't. I'll check them out, thanks!
I started using a big stubby for how the thickness tapers to the edges for picking depth forgiveness like Claus says but any guitar player I had told since thought I was mad! Since seeing Claus use one in another vid I feel quite vindicated! 😄🤘
You the man Claus as always, my Guitardian Angel!
Yup, me too. Everyone acts like these are for metal only (high gain chugging) but they can't be more wrong.
I’m starting to use these
Hi Claus, what gauge is the Dunlop Big Stubby you use?
My fave since 1997
I'm using big stubby 3mm for 15 years. But I think I will change because of his natural high (and lound) harmonics when you attack the light strings (G-B-E). I don't like this "bonus" sound. But I like the feel and the low sound that it gives. Just this high harmonics that I dislike =/
I love these picks but they're wayyyy too chirpy
The thing I don't like about big stubby picks is how chirpy they are, which you can hear in this video, but I do like the sharp tip and the beveled edges though I prefer something like the jazz 3 XL
I just love that end card of the video. Do iiiiiit!
Nice video as always Claus. Just kidding I mean Alan 😅
Keep it up sir!
Hey Claus, which pick gauge
should I start with? I am just starting
to build speed (beginning intermediate?)
in the classical position; I have purchased two of your courses and in about four months my skill level has exploded (as you promised)! Thank you for all of your wonderful insight into this sometimes daunting sometimes mysterious instrument.
Lots of commenters here use the jazz iii.....I like those but how do you guys keep hold of those tiny things? If I grip them well enough to hold to them, my fingers are hitting the strings. Too bad because the tone and accuracy is great, I just can't seem to get along with the jazz iii. That's why I use the big stubby :)
Kees, Same here. I tried to love the JazzIII but at my age (70) I just can't hang on to it. The 3 mm Big Stubby is perfect. I also drill a hole through the depression so that my flesh has just a bit more to grab on to. I can really pull off a lot of the jazz and western swing licks with more confidence.
Terminator giving guitar lessons!
Have you tried the Original Dragon's Heart Guitar Pick 2.5mm Thickness?
Hello GuitarMastery. Due to a very serious surgery I can't play guitar unless it's held up. What Is the name of that stand you use to hold the guitar for you? It would allow me to finally play! Hope this finds you soon.
The material they're made out of is too slippery on unwound strings for me. But it feels good in the hand.
I've been using this pick for a year and when i try other type and shapes of picks it feels weird. I use this 3mm and the 2mm(Nylon).
Brilliant! Can you tell please what amp and pedals do you use?
i love dragonheart picks
What about Celluloid picks? I've tried the Jazz III and Stubby but I can't get the same tone for Rockabilly and chicken picken
The 3.0mm big stubby the one u use is purple .....the 2.0mm is blue i think the lightest is red
is it the 3 mm
Is he talking about the blue or the purple Big Stubby?
How do you get those awesome pick slides with this Pick?
Dunlop big stubby for life
How are these stands on the guitar called? (i mean that one instead of the strap).
What is the thickness ? 2mm or 3 mm
You used to use brass picks. When did you switch?
best new picks EVER! the 3d pick from Anatomy of sound, with asses or boobs to hold them lol. you will thank me latter. the white ones, heart attacks they are pointy and hard. great company. it plays so great for shredding omg!!
Bro you look like Elon Musk if he was popular in highschool. Good tips thanks!
Should I use Jazz 3 or big stubby
Try both
What thickness do you use?
Best DAMN pick out there...
Have you tried V-picks?
@@TheDogPa , didn't care for it. like the big stubby 1.0
@@onlyfromadistance7326 Tried a stubby...sanded it down, tried to make them function right, really, I did. Bad material. Do not like it at all. With acrylic you can get better sound...and you can change the angle and change the sound...and they come in dozens of sizes and types...so try several...or buy a variety sampler...or call Vinni and talk to him, as he is a real person that will help you out.
I used to buy lots of random picks always, lost most of them lol. Anyway, lately started playing guitar and had some random thin pick, long story short - I lost it. Was pretty terrified and started to look for it, couldn't find it. You know like those moments when it just hits you and you want to rock out., but can't find pick lol. So yeah, one night I started looking and found an old 2.0 mm Dunlop pick, that pick is like 8 or 7 years old lol. I always used to rock out with it lol. I think fat picks are harsh on strings, but other than that it's better than playing with a coin or something lol.
this must be the most agressive guitar video/tutorial I've ever seen. muscles, cocaine and fast picking. download this now! now! i like sturdy picks, delay is lame grrraaaa
Paul Gilbert uses 0.6 mm tortex and he is not a lazy guiatrist ;-). It's all about what feels good to you.
Different strokes ;)
yeah he also has giant hands and fingers so it probably has something to do with that lol
It's because PG uses gauge 8 strings, like Van Halen who also used thin picks...
Also PG says thin picks help with scraping to get it in between those wounds...
To compensate, PG uses bass boost pedal like Mojo Mojo... To compensate again, he has lots of presence on his amp...
@@beng4818 He uses heavier gauge strings, mostly 10’s, sometimes 9’s or 11’s
Do you offer one on one private class online
Unfortunatly not
My problem is my fingers get sweaty
Thats sort of a beginner problem ....for me anyways once i found a good pick i could play with i dropped it less....i think its because i have better technique with a looser grip and therefore perspire less.....when i would grip harder my hand would cause condensation under the thumb now i think it probably "breathes" more
Check out V-picks...they stick in your hand better.
we can't stop you from being wrong if you insist. :D
Wow, this guy has a double accent. British, and German. And some words even sounding American pronounced.
No German. Danish!
GREAT
I SAW YOU THE OTHER DAY TALKIN AGAIN ABOUT THE DUNLOP THICK PURPLE AND I THINK I BOUGHT THE ROUND EDGE....
PUT A LINK ON AMAZON OR ANYWHERE TO SHOW THE EXACT PICK YOU HAVE ON THIS VIDEO!!!CANT REMEMBER IF YOU HAD LINK ON THE PREVIOUS VIDEO...!!
THE ROUND EGDE IS GOOD BUT IT SOUNDS SOFT VAGUE SOMETIMES .YOUR SOUND IS NOT CRISP CLEAR WITH THE MINIMUM EFFORT..AND IF YOU ARE PLAYING FAST HOLDING THE PICK AT AN ANGLE OF 45 DEGREES THE RESULT IS EVEN WORSE...!!
IM A COMPLETE NEWBIE IN GUITAR BUT I THINK THICK PICKS THAT DONT BEND ARE THE BEST EVEN FOR A BEGINNER ...AND PROBABLY WITH A SHARP EDGE SO YOU HAVE A GOOD GRIP ON THE STRINGS..IF YOU WANNA PLAY FAST TILT IT A LITTLE AND ITS FINE!!!
DONT KNOW WHY THESE SPECIFIC DUNLOPS ARE SO WELL POLISHED....AND SLIPPERY ....YOU SAY ON THE VIDEO ITS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO USE IT IN A DIFFERENT ANGLE ON THE FLY...SO ITS MUCH MUCH QUICKER...BUT AFTER PLAYIN SOME HOUR I THINK IT BECOMES SLIPPERY ON YOUR FINGERS..ITS GOOD NEAR THE EDGE CAUSE YOU WANT FAST MOVEMENT FROM STRING TO STRING ..ESPECIALLY WHEN THE EDGE IS NOT ROUND BUT SHARP.....
PLEASE SEND THE LINK WITH THE EXACT SHARP EDGED DUNLOP AND ALSO TELL ME
ALTERNATE PICKING AMAZINGLY FAST ON JUST ONE STRING...WHAT S THE FASTEST ...SHARP EDGE..OR ROUND...I USED TO BELIEVE ROUND EDGE WOULD HELP YOU BETTER TO SLIDE UP AND DOWN....BUT I THINK YOU WOULD SAY SHARP EDGE..
YEA! I've used the stubby triangles for like 20 years... I love big-butt pics baby!
You're very wrong when it comes to sound and pick ups. The type of wood greatly determines how the sound waves are picked up by the pick ups. You can have one set up pick ups in all of your guitars and they will sound completely different on each guitar unless they're made of the same woods, use the same hardware, scale length etc.
Good one 😂
he didnt say big stubby enough. by the way what is a purple dunlop !??!?!!?!??!!!?!?!,!1!!?!?!!?
Don’t hold me to this, but I think their standard purple picks are 1.14mm. With the fat ones it’s 3.0mm.
2mm is too thick. 0.9-1.14mm already inflexible
Big Stubby is too big and Stubby is too small. Wish they made one in between.
dunlop make millions different picks
you can find your best just try
@@NKN82 :And I've probably tried them all. Have settled on the 427PJP John Petrucci Jazz III. But I like the indentation on the Big Stubby. Makes your thumb stay in place and the pick not spin.
Smitty Smith try the Dunlop Ultex Jazz XL 3 1.38 and thats the in between you wish. I have tried same Pick as you do as well thats why i choose this one. 🤘
Smitty Smith...try a dragons heart pick...very comfortable but a very odd shape. I really like them.
Try the John Petrucci FLOW pick its the best ive ever had....ive used JAZZ III, Chicken Picks , Big Stubby, Tortex, Celluloid, Delrin, none are as great as the John Petrucci FLOW , theres also a standard FLOW but its about the size of a big stubby a bit too big and thick for me....
Too scientific. Just demonstrate
