I bought a variety pack with one of those in them, but to me it felt like playing with sandpaper vs the ultex just gliding off more. I didn’t like how much resistance the carbon fiber had. What do you think?
same here. actually i favor the JP jazz 3. my fav for years. but since i got the Petrucci Flow yesterday, it replace the jazz III one. super flow and fluid for fast playing . but.. the CHIRP really bugging me off.. i dont wanna change the way hold the pick. really is dillemma.
Awesome played.That noise you dont like its called chirp.Ultex the thicker it is the more chirp you ll get.There are tortex Flows picks , they don t chirp, but tortex flows has no bevel arround.
@@clanofhousecats8079 in some contexts the chirp works well, like with Periphery-style riffs. It adds a bit of texture to rhythm playing. I think they all use really chirpy picks (Dunlop Sharp). I think Ollie from Monuments does as well.
@@clanofhousecats8079 The flow picks don't chirp at all and neither do the other picks. It just depends on the angle you're holding them at. The flow picks should be held so the pick is parallel to the string. If you like to edge pick (pick angled so that the edge of the pick slices through the string) you might need a pick that isn't rounded along the edges. The Jazz III, especially the petrucci one, are all meant to be played more parallel to the strings. Even his Jazz III, despite being pointy, has rounded edges. Try holding it parallel and graze the string with the tip of the pick. With the flow it'll feel like the strings are really soft. With the sharper pick it'll have more resistance but it'll give you more of a reference point so you know that you actually hit the string. I'm really weird about picks. I like the Jazz III 2.0 but I'd like it to be a hybrid between the prime tone flow and the Jazz III 2.0 with the grip of Matt Heafy's nylon jazz III. It's really annoying that I'm so sensitive to pick shapes. Depending on how I feel or how fucking high I am I switch picks every day. Lol
@@clanofhousecats8079 they come in the pack of mixed upJohn petrucci picks it has those you did a demo of and 2 others they are the sam size as Tortex but won’t bend
@@clanofhousecats8079 like what you said about the flow & trinity. Looking forward to trying them. Was playing with the ultex jazz iii last night and comparing against dunlop flex jazz... Noticed that chirp right away. It plays nice but if you're articulating... Yeah that CHIRP 🤣🤣🤣 also tried a .88 primetone... There's something different about how it plays and the feeling in my fingers is "off."
@@clanofhousecats8079 just tried the primetone again... It's the grip. I got used to the JP shield digging in fine... But the primetone has this circle of embossed logo/advertising lol... Also, I guess "Delrin 500" chirps a bit too.
The only way to get away from the ultex chirp noise is to get thinner picks. Below 1 mm it becomes manageable. But once I noticed it, I’ve tried to ditch ultex for Tortex flow 0.88
I have the normal 1.38 yellow ultex jazz iii and it is my favorite pick so far. I don’t ever have chirp, I think that would go away the more you play and develop the bezel (angled edge).
@@minifireball1170 i also noticed that yellow ultex chirp a lot less. They still chirp though. Perhaps it’s the rougher texture that prevents it. I angle quite a lot. I just don’t like thick picks for fast palm muted tremolo picking.
@@clanofhousecats8079 thanks, so which one would you really prefer out of the 3? I haven't tried. Just the original jp jazz iii and I use ultex jazz iii 1.38 mm. Wanting to try something new. Would you prefer the trinity pick or the flow pick?
@@coolsidhanth well. Actually I was going to make a video on my new favorite pick. But out of those three I like the Flow and Trinity. Maybe the Trinity more because it's not 2.0mm
Yeah it's kinda interesting though being able to have a pick last longer with having more than one attack side. If I can keep track of the pick itself, they tend to be all over the place
best new picks EVER! the 3d pick from Anatomy of sound, with asses or boobs to hold them lol what else could you need? 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!!
I agree. From 3 pick models, I like the flow.
I am using a carbon fiber jazz III and they awesome, the grip is very usefull. And they last forever, even when you loose them.
Woah that's neat, I haven't seen a carbon fiber version. I totally believe they would last forever
@@clanofhousecats8079 I live on Europe, i bought them on Thomann. THey are great and cheap, you get 6 for 5 euros.

I have the same issue with the JP flow. The noise comes out when I try to learn something fast. Might just be the Ultex material.
I really loved your playing bro
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed. I think I didn't have an audio interface yet in this video. I do now and my audio has been sounding better

Have you tried to the John petrucci picks that say ultex prime tone there my favorite pick they have pretty much no flex to them
I haven't actually, I don't think I have even seen them before

@@danielhenry4614 Oh cool I have not bought the mixed picks just a somewhat high count of the ones I use of his.
The petrucci jazz iii pick along with the green .88 M3 changed my life. Just ordered his Sampler pack
Oh nice! I just enjoy the two newest petrucci picks so far
@@clanofhousecats8079 like what you said about the flow & trinity. Looking forward to trying them.

Hi, is the trinity pick 2.0 mm thick or 1.4mm?
I had to look it up, says 1.4mm I knew it was thinner than the 2.0 FLOW

With three corner picks, you'll wear out each side evenly unless you only use one side which seems a little crazy
