I played the Jazz 3's for awhile and I like them a lot but after picking back up the Vai picks, I realized that I have a little more control, I can pick faster and more accurate

wow, I missed this thread, Jazz III for the past 6 or so years.

The 1st link are Tortex jazz picks, which are the exact same size and shape as Jazz III's. The big difference being the lack of a bevel on the edge.

The 2nd link are pretty similar to regular Tortex picks.

dunlop tortex 1mm blue
reason: comfey, smooth, good grip and good string attack, also great for acoutisc playing.

dunlop tortex 0.60 mm orange
reason: comfey, smooth good grip, i find them good for neck region playing

I've recently switched to Dunlop Ultex 1.14 on my Martin HD-28. I use the Ultex 1.0 for my other acoustics.

The Ultex gets nicely beveled after about 30 minutes. They last much longer, have a warm sounding attack and are less "clicky" than Tortex and Delrin picks I was using.

Everly Star Grip picks. I always had a problem with dropping picks but I hated the adhesives, cork, curves, and nubs. These are the most wonderful picks I've ever used. They have the same feel as a tortex but with the grip. I use .60s. I also occasionally use Ibanez Paul Gilbert picks for a thicker acoustic sound.

Throw me up there for some Ultex Jazz III's!

Plain ole Fender Heavy here for normal use. I do use a Stylus Pick when doing scale runs to keep my pick technique up to par.

Either Clayton .80 picks or Dunlop 1mm Nylons

After a while the nylons feel flimsy so I'll switch to a Clayton, or vice versa where the Clayton will feel to stiff and I'll switch to Nylons

1.38 Jazz III's either color (red or black) I'm not picky

.

Ultra Cool "Stealth" heavies for rhythm, and Jazz III's (Black) for otherwise.

My top pick was this odd shaped dunlop I had a couple of. It was boxy, with an arrow-like point. (Think monopoly-house shaped)

Dunlop stylus pick

Dunlop Tortex .73 yellow. But I see that everyone is using much heavier picks that I am, is there a reason? Can someone tell me why it might be better to use heavy picks instead of lighter picks?

Or am I just being paranoid for no reason?
