Thanks so much bro and happy new year to you and yours too! Definitely worth a look man, not having to pinch so far might be really good for you. I was using the gloss Flow 3mm before these and liked them but I'm having so much better of an experience with these. Thank you man, take care! 🤘

Pick moving in my hand has been a problem for me as well, that’s why I recently purchased Ernie ball prodigy picks, the big triangle shaped ones. That seem to do the trick for me, but I’m really intrigued by these picks now. I’d love to try some. I’m not a very fast lead guy but I love to write riffs and rhythm parts. Congrats on becoming a jacketto picks artist man!!! It’s so cool seeing you get some recognition from the guitar community, it’s so inspiring! Julian from Italy 🇮🇹 ❤

You might try sticking a 3/8" felt dot on your pick to help with grip. They are sold for sticking on the base of objects so they won't scratch a table top. Very thin, adhesive usually at Dollar tree, 50 for a buck.

Hey dude! I hope you're doing good man? If you find something you like dude then that's great! All I can say from a personal perspective is that I've had an awesome experience with these. It's nice to have a pick I can rely on and not have to mess around doing other stuff and I can just concentrate on playing guitar, you know? There's so much stuff that can drive you mad when you're playing so having something I really like is great. And thank you bro, I wouldn't be doing this now without you and the other dudes who always show up. I'm eternally grateful! 🤘

Try making your thick picks out of a slightly softer material similar to Dunlop's nylon. The lid off an old Rubbermaid bin/tub is durable, won't chirp like harder lexan, lucite, polycarbonate. They feel just like a 20$ blue chip brand btw...

I wish I could get around the clanking/chirping sound thick plectrums produces, due to how comfortable they are to hold, but those bloody sound drives me bonkers. As for ways to revitalise my favourite worn and rounded picks, I use a nail file to sharpen the edge and voila, good as new. I've been using 2 of the same Ultem Triangle picks for years now, up until I accidentally yeeted one into the abyss.

@@JackTaylorGuitars Well I finally got my pics today! took a while to get to the UK from Aussie land. Been playing around with them for the last few hours and I'm kinda blown away. These are amazing! I got two sizes, a Mini Osprey which is super comfortable and small, and a Hellwing which is massive! and has a great shape. I keep swapping between the two, but generally the thickness is what helps the most with it not slipping. The shape of the Hellwing lets me use my middle finger to keep is stable while strumming; and the Mini Opsrey is real small and super good for picking. I will almost certainly be getting some more. 100% worth the £20 ish each. Really enjoyable to use.

The best pick is an assortment of picks. Big thick picks are groovy for a lot of styles especially fast single note stuff, but a musical prostitute like myself does a lot of different gigs and if I am doing a country type gig where I am strumming a strat and really going for an acoustic guitar type strumming sound those thick picks just don't cut it. That is when a relatively thin pick really shines. And when my strings are a bit old, I find I can use a slightly lighter pick and brighten my tone up a bit rather than re-stringing a guitar. I love thick picks. And the ones this guy is selling (endorsing) are most likely great but if a guy has a hack saw and some sandpaper, picks are super easy to make. Btw...your sidewalk or driveway slab is a great giant " grinding stone" to get the basic shape before sanding to a fine finish. Guitarists often use money rather than their own common sense. There are so many things we can make if we just try, rather than just buy.
