    I found a pick I love (big stubby) but the tip blunts so fast, and I don't even pick hard!

    I had never used "solid" picks until I picked my guitar back up after a decade away, and I bought a Dunlop Big Stubby 2mm just to check it out, and I love it! However I'm already on my third now, as the tiny sharp tip, which is what I love most about it, seems to blunt within one week. I do...

    Anyone knows picks that feel like Ultex but sound closer to Tortex?

    I started my guitar way long time ago with Dunlop Big Stubby 3.0, later been using some local 1.5 Acrylic Jazz picks which are pretty expensive. Also experimented with some buffalo horn and Dunlop`s Delrin picks but wasn`t impressed. recently tried to find cheaper and maybe a little thinner...

    Pick Grip trick?

    Hey everyone, had a quick question concerning pick grip. Basically, I use either the Ultex Sharp 1.14 or the black John Petrucci pick (not the jazz picks, it's a little bigger, similar to the Ultex), but I forget the model name. Anyways, I love both these picks, but here's the problem: they...

    Whenever I am picking, my pointer finger under the pick hits the string that I pick. Is this normal? How to fix it?

    My picking needs some help

    A couple of months ago I decided to start working on my picking hand because I just wanted to get better. I feel a lot of tension in my arm even when I pick with my wrist and it feels really inconsistent. One day I'm Yngwie Malmsteen and the next, I'm a dude who just picked up a guitar. What am...

    The best pick for hard shredding

    I just want to find the ideal pick for those heavy riffs in Fear Factory, Divine Heresy, etc. I use Dunlop Gator 1.14mm, but these picks fray away very soon. I read about the Dunlop Ultex Jazz III. People said that is perfect for this. I need peoples' opinion about that (ofc who plays this style).

    Eric Johnson signature pick

    Dunlop If you look right next to the Jazz IIIs is a picture and link to Eric Johnson's signature pick, a vintage red Jazz III. I guess this is new. I remember hearing rumors that he was having one developed, but here they have been deemed true and the sig pick has come to fruition.

    'Fingernail picks'

    Has anyone tried these? Chris Broderick mentioned them on his forum, and they could be a solution for the old 'tapping vs. fingerpicking' question regarding nail length. aLaska Pik - Finger & Thumbnail Pick for Stringed Instruments
