When I was younger I used Jazz III exclusively, usually the tortex and sometimes the nylon when I couldn't get tortex. Now that I'm in my 30's and have pretty bad MS, I use the gator grip regular sized picks because I've lost a lot of the feeling in my fingers and it helps to keep the pick from suddenly disappearing. I also use to play, nearly exclusively, fingerstyle when I was young until I lost some of the feeling in my fingers.

I wonder if I'm in some kind of similar situation. A couple of years now I've had this problem with my hands, primarily the left one, where if it is strained too much in a short period of time I start to get numb. It feels like my whole hand is just one big lump. I also have a problem with numbness in my right shoulder. And on the right hand my thumb aches around the area where my hand and arm meet if you get me. I've finally gotten' around to get it checked. But the neurologist postponed my appointment now because of corona 😐 I work as an electrician (which btw, if I have a lot of screws/wires that need to be tightened with a screwdriver the pain gets almost unbearable), play guitar and computer games. So my hands are generally always doing something, all the time.

I have found that the attack angle of my pick can affect my tone much more substantially with the Tortex and other similar delrin type picks. I keep finding myself playing John Petrucci’s black Dunlop picks because I can keep a consistent tone despite my own personal inconsistency

Trying a new guitar pick was my answer to playing way better. I played the best about 2 years or so into my playing. I was using a Fender medium at the time. But I joined a band and was influenced (misguided really) into thinking that a heavier pick equal better tone. I struggled to play fast, be articulate, etc. for more years than I care to mention. I recently got an assortment of picks and began to experiment. I settled on a Dunlop Nylon Max Grip 0.73. I am playing better than I have in many years! Your grip, the way you hold the pick, the angle of the pick, all factor in. Experiment and use what works for you the best. You pick may be your obstacle like it was for me!

Minor correction. Brian May uses old British Silver Sixpences. They have a corrugated edge which he uses for pick scrapes and he has a REALLY light touch. Check out his Premier Guitar "Rig Rundown" episode. I've tried most of these: Jazz 3, too small and despite the grip factor, still slips cos it's so small. Celluloid - too slippery Metal - too stiff so any benefit you gain from it being thinner is offset. Also little grip. DAVA - surprisingly good. Sticks well in the fingers, and I particularly like that you can change it from stiff to soft depending on where you grip it (I know what that sounds like, but get your mind out of the gutter!) Wood (still stay out of the gutter!) - love the tone & the texture is great at first. As you play though, your sweat fills in the grain and they become more slippery. All in all it's a toss up (still in the gutter I see!) Between DAVA and Tortex, with Totex first! Great video by the way!

I switched to Jazz III's about a year ago. I feel that they made me a better lead player - forced me to focus more on accuracy. Not everyone likes the smaller size though.

@harrisonmccartney4878

I love the Jazz III for their small size. I use super light strings, 8 gauge extra slinky, so I need a thick pick (1.5mm) to cut across them, and the only ones that do so without the length catching on one of the strings and dragging are the Jazz III's. They are a godsend for my particular playstyle.

All of them were pretty similar, metal one was weird and a bit tinny, o'd say my favorite is the dunlop, but we all know the real hero here is the Chibson pick.

They 100% affect the sound I use 3 picks a evh signature pic, fender medium delrin, and a ernie ball prodigy drastically different. I think its due to the give away of the pick while your playing and the surface area that touches the strings. In the case of the prodigy the angle of the bottom of the pick helps change the sound as well.

Not even kidding, I’ve used the same Dunlop Flow 2 mm pick for the past 5 years. Haven’t ever lost it. It’s worn away a bit, and it actually makes it super nice to use and gives me heaps of control over where I pick. Tried other picks, they just haven’t worked as well for me.

I used to use the Dunlop Stubby 3mm, and I loved it so much. And then I got the Dunlop Hetfield's White Fang 1.14, and now they've been my daily picks. I carry them everywhere I go.

I’ve been making my own pics out of assorted hardwoods for the last two years and prefer them for jazz and lead work - they don’t have the ‘click’ you get from plastic. I’ve also settled on 3 shapes - a medium jazz style for general playing, a mini jazz for soloing… and a sharkfin design for everything else - with all the trimmings - so I have 3 different shaped points and 2 long sides for some more complex sounds. And then I have some very light gauge Dunlop’s for general strumming. It’s wonderful to have the choices. PS - my preferred woods are cedar and rimu - they take nice finishes - and I’ve even tried palm tree - which looks amazing, although it’s not going to last as long as the hardwoods!

I got some Fender stainless steel picks around a decade ago (only have 1 left) and I love it. Tone difference is way more noticeable when playing acoustic. It's more difficult to use but I love the brighter tone.

My favorite pick to use is the white dunlop flow. I believe its 1.5 and it sounds quite a bit different then most others. Deeper tone. Also you have more control with a thicker pick and use force to change your tone while a thin pick you can't attack hard as easily. The more experience i got the more i could appreciate the thicker picks vs. The thin. But for a beginner I'd hand them the thinner pick because I feel its easier for a newbie.

Great video! That was a lot of food for thought. I use Dava picks a lot because the grip feels secure in my hands. I am naturally a clumsy guitar player, so being able to hold on to my pick is of number one importance.

Correction, Bryan May used a Sixpence English coin, not a penny. He also used the year he was born Sixpence coin. The ridges on the sides of the sixpence gave him some cool sound options too when scraping. A Sixpence coin is a little thicker than a dime. In my experience, Tortex and Celluloid don't wear out that much. The Alice plastic picks wear out very fast. Good video.

Its actually fun to watch somebody’s guitar picks

I play rock and metal. I used .88mm green Tortex Dunlop picks for over 20 years and swore by them, but a few months ago I tried a thicker 1.0mm grey Max-Grip Dunlop pick and liked what I heard. A little more fullness and clarity to the tone. I then switched to a 1.14mm Max-Grip and liked the sound even more. I jumped to a 2.0mm Prime-Grip Delrin 500 Dunlop pick when I picked up a baritone guitar in 2020. I like the way the thicker picks hit and now my tone is much heavier \m/ and a little brighter. I couldn't believe I waited decades to try this!

I've used one of those plastic glow in the dark stars that go on the ceiling as a pick...modified of course

You forgot the pick made out of a useless plastic card you find in your wallet when you’re at a party, pick less, and too drunk to use your fingers. Works surprisingly well with a good pair of scissors.

Done it a lot, does not sound good tbh

Now I have a sad, you stopped at 3mm. Love my 6mm picks.

I'm sure it does but, I am and have been unable to use a pick due to partial paralysis...I can be heard on recent uploads. But I am not the awesome skilled player like most are used to on youtube. I explore the side I never knew as a drummer most my life of Metal, prog and fusion. Life changed and as did my health. This channel I have has become my new way to release emotions and hope to relax people. A few reviews ive done and more to come to those that like the instrumental floyd type stuff being played by a novice guitarist.

BRO! Something I really love about your channel, it is unapologetically just chill. As an avid Ola fan, in all the best ways you are his opposite and I get excited every time I see your videos come out. Happy to see you back post COVID and you're doing ok. NEVER STOP NOT STOPPING!!

Everything affects tone even if just a small bit

Dunlop is green, feels nice, has a title and a clever name. Clearly it is the best 😎

The thing I learned was that this was actually a question. The material physics/dynamics would suggest that it has to affect the tone. Great video to go over some of the nuances and history. For strumming work, I quite like stone picks. They're quite thick (and need to be for structural integrity's sake), so they aren't suited for much else. They're also pretty.

I love the fender extra heavy 70s style, the texture is like this dry powder feel and it makes the grip so nice

Next up: " playing the guitar with a dinner plate"

Dava picks are my go to.

The clothes you wear also affect tone. Black or dark blue shirts give a slight boost in bass, but red, orange, neon green, or white will give a high end boost. Try it.

It is quite interesting to see how much the sound actually changes! I just made several picks (thanks for being part of the inspiration) out of different woods, from hard to soft woods. And it is really interesting to hear the tone shift.

I love these comparison videos, however even with headphones with KZread audio compression I hear alot less of a difference than I know this should make. I always found in the studio with cans on I hear HUGE differences with little things like pick size and material, how hard you push on the strings etc. Obviously this makes sense but it is note worthy that in a studio environment or even home recording you'll notice a much bigger difference than over KZread of in a live setting.

That's all that matters, really. Even if you hear it in a studio setting, no one who pays for your music is listening in that environment. Who can hear the difference in picks, in a mix, streaming itunes, with earbuds? Far fewer than 1% of listeners, probably. Play what makes you comfortable.

It may just be my ears, but that Petrucci pick did something special to those strings.

I used Jazz III-type picks for about 20 years. Then I had a phase of feeling really clumsy in my picking. I got some regular sized picks and it was instantly better. I figured it was the guitar player equivalent of needing stringer reading glasses and I got older.

The pick changes my attack, speed, intensity, style of playing, etc. This results in different tone. I like strumming with thin picks, playing harder rock stuff with thicker V-picks, precision stuff with Ibanez PG's artist models oraz Jazz III's, and then run of the mill picks (the 10 for a dollar sort of stuff) for average stuff.

OMG NOOOO, literally one hour ago my order with some strings and picks arrived 😅 wish would have waited enough just to see this video

not when the tone is processed through pedals and amps and such...but it definitely changes tone acoustically. mandolin players are very adamant about that too.

everyone talks about tone in regards to pick. for me thats completely secondary. Its all about playability. I use the picks that feel the best. whatever tone they produce is just a secondary thing that i dont care about.

I was convinced when I saw Premier Guitar’s rig rundown on the Edge, and they demonstrated his picks with the grit. It’s for this same reason that I have a theory that fretboard material affects tone as well - not for the regular “tonewood” reasons of resonance - but because of the difference in wood grain. Your pickups can detect a hammer-on, right? And part of a hammer-on is the string meeting the fretboard; and if we can audibly hear the difference between a smooth guitar pick and one with a grit to it, or between different weights of picks, then shouldn’t we be able to hear the difference between wood grains? It’s just an hypothesis at this point. I don’t have any proof of this. If anyone else has tried direct comparisons of say, a strat with a rosewood fretboard versus the exact same strat with a maple fretboard using identical amp settings, please share your findings

John petruccis jazz picks hit different im telling you 🖤

Yea ik but at the beginning he put the picks under the nylon category and I felt personally attacked

I used to only use jazz 3s for soloing, but I realized recently the jazz 1 adds a much more muted sound from the rounder edge that is amazing for riffs that have less attack.

Over 28 years of trial-and-error, I've come to appreciate that there are applications for different kinds of picks. My personal formula is thin picks for strumming, medium picks for combined rhythm and lead word, and heavier picks for dedicated lead. The more definition I'm looking for, the harder the pick material, in other words. The tonality of different pick materials is a huge can of worms, so I just look for picks that feel and sound good according to my personal taste.

My favorite picks are Tortex Jazz iii XL size 1.5mm.

When you played with the different guitar picks, I could almost hear the difference.

I love the tone of the jazz 3 on the single coil. I usually use the tortex Dunlop picks so I’ve just bought the jazz 3 to check them out.

I recently ordered a variety pack of 4 wood picks from this website called Timber Tones. They sell picks made of a bunch of different materials. I would love to see you do a video comparing wood to metal to mineral to abalone. When you start getting into alternate materials, there are so many crazy possibilities.

That melody you play at the end with all the picks is one of my favorite things I've ever heard on guitar.

13:56 big thing

My favorites are Gravity 003 and Tripp in the big mini size. I switch between 1 - 3mm in those. I also like Jazz III XL blacks. One pick that makes a huge difference in tone is the Jazz III 2.0's. Not sure what it is about those but they sound really metallic.

I choose the pick depending on how I’m feeling, If I’m feeling lazy or just want to jam then I choose a thinner pick (typically a fender thin) and if I’m practicing or at a lesson I use a thicker pick such as a tortex 73 or 63

My man Uncle Judy did something similar (in his own style). In any case, really helpful Tyler!

Not gonna lie, I wasn’t watching this video, more like listening to it and tuning in whenever I heard something interesting, the times I turn my head to actually see what was going on in the video, the penny was being used. very interesting.

The Petrucci pick sounds amazing

Good video bro! I would also add that you can control a lot of the tonality based on the attack that you utilize when you are picking. I use the Dunlop greens myself and I’m able to get a wide scenario of sounds based on how aggressively I play. Keep up the great work!
