The Dunlop Jazz III has become a key element in guitarist Eric Johnson's fluid and seamless style. With its pointed tip and rounded edge the Dunlop Jazz III gives players greater control and speed than any other pick. Working with Eric to recreate a prized vintage Jazz III from his personal...

WOO HOOOOOO!!! I've just gotten a delivery of some very special plectrums.......................... Under the cover of night, they arrived in this heavily armored super protective ultra light speed shipping case!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jim, you absolutely...

Hey all, I inadvertently purchased some Dunlop Jazz III XL's and did not mean to buy them, I was going for the regular ones, but I didn't read the auction as well as I'd thought. I just want what I paid for them, plus whatever shipping costs to you. There are 10 of them for 4.95. Anyone...

Hi!! Did anybody alreadytry the new dunlop Jazz III pick? the yellow one? I can't find any in the local music stores.... Is it really different? I'm used now to use jazz star picks... (really great by the way)... Gut Jazz III are nice also...

A few days ago I noticed that my fast alternate picking speed was noticeably slower than normal. I realized my picking technique wasn't affecting my fast playing, it was the pick itself! I used to use .96mm Dunlop Gator picks and I could shred/play fast quite well, but ever since I switched to...

hey guys, i really need advise for sharpen my picking technique and other techniques.. sweeping and string skip mostly.. do you guys have any inputs for me? and i dont know why whenever i pick at high speed, it hurts my picking arm, it'll stop me from playing after a while.. it can be either...

Lately, I've been working on my speed-picking. I'm trying to get faster with my up-down stroke, but can't get my pick to move fast enough and hit the string every time. I don't want to sound retarded here, I know the proper technique to hold the pick, but I'm wondering if my tension on holding...

I picked up a JEM for the first time this past weekend. I have played for 20 years and have owned an RG 570 in the past. I have to say.....I didnt like it. I didnt like the feel of the neck and I didnt like the Edge trem. I played a JEM VWH. I also played an RG 350 DX and it felt worse. The trem...

I'm not the foremost expert when it comes to 80's Ibanez guitars, due to the fact that when I was a kid back then I couldn't afford even a 550. :) But, I will take a stab at a review of the 20th RG-DY I have here that belongs to a friend of mine. My DY is on order with Rich and hopefully will...

Current issue of Guitar One with Eric Johnson on a doubleneck - has a feature article on a pick! Evidentely, the Dunlop JAZZ III is some sort of 'super-pic' that major players like Tremonti, Johnson, Laiho and Petrucci use exclusively. The way these guys are quoted, this pick was a huge part...

Just curious. I use Dunlop Tortex 0.88mm. The green ones. They're great: not too thin, not too thick. By the way, don't you just love the little turtle illustration on it? :D http://www.jimdunlop.com/index.php?page=products/pip&id=8&pmh=products/picks The alligator illustration on the 'Gator...

I have just come to the conclusion, that my playing is never going to get to the point of being any good, and I think the one thing that really seems to be holding me back is my picking technique, or lack of. I need help, I always seem to dig too deep and get stuck on the string or pick too...

(Note: crossposted to a few different online Guitar forums. Apologies for any HTML formatting errors or seeing the same thread on another site! ;- ) ) I've done a *lot* of experimentation with different pick types over the past few months.....so far, I like: and Pickboy picks are hard...

Has anyone here tried any of the various Ibanez picks? It's hard to tell from photos, but it looks to me that the Gilbert signatures (and to maybe a lesser extent the Vais) seem to have a slight point on the tip. I've been wondering about the rubber and sand grips, as well. Very hard to find...

Guitar Pics (Plectrums) Wanted? Strange perhaps.. but I collect rare guitar pics.. Some I have are Vai, Satch, Fender, Marshall, SRV etc. If you have any you may consider parting with please let me know. Cheers Tania

For years I've used just Fender heavys. But I'm always open to try new things. So far, nothing comes close. I just want to try something new, something that doesn't wear as easily like the Dunlops with the beveled edge. My favorite all time pick was the Pickboy. The tip was a little...
