HOW A GREAT MAN KIRK IS. ALWAYS SMILING AND A HUMBLE REGULAR GUY

*Slaps pick:* "this bad boy has a built in wah to it!"

I really appreciate the fact that he has remained so humble after all the crazy success he has had with his band. I also like the fact that he still seems to be genuinely passionate and excited about playing the instrument. Basically, in a way, he's still that teenager who used to spend countless hours sitting in his bed practicing and developing his own guitar playing style. He never lost the right spirit, that's why he is who he is now.

It objectively allows for more control. I have been "trendy" and used a Jazz III for over 20 years. Jame's pick is a standard Fender style with a Jazz III tip. You can't get more cliché than using a Fender style pick. I use Ultex Jazz III's, the yellow ones, and Petrucci Jazz III's (Jazz III XL) for metal/rhythm work. I can appreciate where you are coming from especially for rhythm work.

@briann8911

Petrucci picks are my favorite now. Something about them makes picking feel more effortless.

@Dejoblue

7 жыл бұрын

I think they are a happy medium. Jazz III's fit right on my fingertip, it is like I am using my fingertip to play. I can't do that for metal, there isn't enough grip area. The Petrucci goes right up to my first knuckle so it gives me more grip area but also lets me keep the movement and precision of a Jazz II. Fenders and others just go on up to the second knuckle and have little motion. But I understand how this can be a benefit for rhythm playing, providing rigidity. To each their own. But, yeah, the Petrucci's rock! Cheers!

That guitar pick is Wahtastic!

I've always used a 2.0 mil. blue Dunlop pick with the rigid indentation around the center. Very sharp, smooth surfaced point, and obviously makes me sound hard hitting and tight. I realise it's more of a Bass pick, but I like it. After using such a thick pick, then go to a thinner pick, it's crazy how much faster you're speed picking or galloping. When using a thinner pick now, when I speed pick, it literally sounds like I'm just sustaining a single picked note. It's wild. I'm trying to remember the password to my other KZread account with my videos of me doing Metallica Medleys from back in 2008 through 2011. I have no vids on this current account.

I had the opportunity of catching his pick at the Big 4 after they played Seek and Destroy. Framed it and hung it in my bedroom. Thanks Kirk!

..."because I sweat a lot." and I used to think that I'm the only guitarist who sweats THIS MUCH.

Acrylic V-picks. Give them a shot. They stick to your fingers and stage lights reflect off them when dropped so they're easy to see.

Cream ,cream ,cream , oh Kirk , make me cream some more.,..................

Picked up a pack of his purple ones and a pack of his green ones. Without a doubt the best picks I have ever used, and will be all I use from here. Speed and articulation is instantly better, solid grip. I understand what he means by changes your playing and one of the best things to near instantly enhance your playing. Really able to "dig in" a good deal more as well. Funny no one mentions the reduction of extra noise which means less muting needed during play. Use these for a few days and go back to a normal sized pick and you'll notice this immediately. I hated the "normal" jazz picks as the smaller size but no enhanced grip means harder to hold onto and control, these shift that to perfection in a pick.

I don’t think I’d ever heard Kirk talk before this

I bought this pick and now i can play every metallica song

Ive been a metallica fan for years, but i think this is the first time I heard kirks voice.

He should make a glow in the dark pick

I have one of the lime green one's now I need one of these!!!!

kirk contributed great ideas for a good pick for us all. don't talk crap. he's legendary.

I use a jazz-pick, as well. It's called "Jazz lll" and it's a thicker pick. I gotta have that, due to how hard I play. Been playin' for 20 years now and I discovered this a few years back.

Kirk doesn’t get the recognition he deserves, I watched an interview with Mustaine about them “ending their feud” with Metallica but you could clearly see he envies Kirk he even calls Kirk a terrible guitar player honestly yes amazing he knows how to make the guitar speak to you, he doesn’t just pick super fucking fast

my fav pick

I use Dunlop Tortex .88s. The green ones. They're the only way to go for me.

anybody know where to buy the black jazz picks?? Can only find the green? Any info is appreciated

You could actually get a pack of 20 for really cheap. Apparently Matt Heafy from Trivium introduced Kirk to these Jazz 3 picks, and Kirk never looked back since. It honestly is a solid guitar pick due to the gradient of the edge, resulting in faster picking speeds.

Those picks are great

Kirk I've a pick make by iron and when you throw it you could hear "ping" sound , it really for playing metal...!!!!

Picks or Plectrums as I call them have changed over the years. I've been playing guitar for 30 years now and I remember getting a free plectrum with Guitar magazine when I was 16. I used it forever! It's only recently I lost it. So I had to find something similar. I popped to the music store and found all types of plectrum! Wood, plastic, metal. I only wanted one! I realised that I hold a plectrum sideways, so the tip points towards the head of the guitar. I don't know why, it just feels right that way. So maybe I need a circle plectrum as the tip is just wrong for me 🙂
