Jim Dunlop 47P3N Nylon Jazz Pick Player Pack (Pack of 6), Red, 1.38mm

The best pick! I have been playing for 30+ years and these picks have been a revolution. I will never use another pick.

These are my favourite picks and my students love them too whenever I recommend them. They usually prefer these thicker, smaller picks over thinner larger ones, which often offer less control and precision while playing.Smaller picks tend to give you more control and produce a better tone, making your guitar playing feel smoother and more expressive.

very good

great picks

The pick is good but for me the pick slides when my hand begins to sweat a little making strumming a pain. But the max grip version of the pick is better in my opinion.

Like everything else in life, the choice of pick, strings, strap, guitar etc are all down to ones personal preference. On the internet some people (nerds) go to great lengths raving on about how they can play a gazillion notes a second and wear these picks down to a nub in one session blah blah. Yeah right, and I taught Hendrix all he knew. Suffice to say that I have used these for a month now with a lot of playing with hardly any noticeable wear. I don't find them slippery to hold as I find the raised script sufficient but if I did need more grip (e.g. in a really hot venue) a quick rub over the holding surface with some sandpaper would probably do the trick. It didn't take long to get used to the smaller size or the greater thickness than I've been used to and yes with practice picking has become more accurate. I hesitate to say quicker because that again is down to the individual. These picks have a little bit of flex to them, not much, but enough if you don't want a rigid pick. I also bought some Ultex Jazz III picks which I also like very much and are very hard wearing too. They are a different material (very hard plastic) and have virtually no flex. They area slightly transparent straw colour and will get lost more easily if dropped but it helps keep JD in business. Hope this helps.

we came to this pick via Joe Bonamassa, - my son who is the guitarist here was advised by his tutor to find a smaller pick than the "standard" but had not located one after shopping around. - Then Joe threw his out into the crowd at the end of a gig and my son picked it up, took it home and used it... A bit of research and we discovered what Joe's signature pick is, - the one we had was not called a Jazz III but had Joe's name on it.These picks are small but work very well, - they are small enough to flick between strings easily, - they are small enough to hook up into your finger for non pick work.Now the real Joe one is tucked away in his memorabilia collection alongside the signed band set list, - and we have many spare Jazz III's around the house!

These tiny bits of red plastic have made a big difference to my playing since I started using them. It didn't take long to adjust to the extra thickness and smaller size compared to my previous picks and the increase in picking accuracy and overall feel were worth the effort. Probably the cheapest guitar accessory I have bought but one that has had the biggest impact on my tone and playing.
