Jim Dunlop Petrucci Jazz III Player Pack (6 Pieces)

I’ve tried out quite a few picks over my 15 years of dabbling with guitar. My old fave was the 1mm Dunlop Nylon that you see in the images. But these picks are my new fave, specifically if you’re playing the likes of scales or any single string licks where accuracy and speed is key. Fast metal and rock are where these picks excel.You can see in the images that this pick is smaller and more pointy than standard picks. As a result, it’s more accurate. Flicking between my old pick and this one, I noticed I could play that little bit quicker and cleaner. The point makes quite a difference, as does the bevelled edge when alternate picking.These picks are comfortable to hold and the logo and rough area ensure the pick doesn’t slip when playing.The thickness of the pick and material made an audible difference to sound and sustain too. Thankfully in a good way.As with many picks, value for money is great. These are solid and will last many, many hours of playing.If you play metal or rock these are a solid choice and will hell improve your speed and sound. Enjoy!

While on a pick quest to find and try out some other Jazz III's picks I stumbled across these and decided to give them a shot. I tend to use White Tortex .88mm Jazz III's and have for several years, i use Tortex because I don't like the coating or the raised logos and branding on the regular Jazz III's.My first use of the pick impressed me, I thought I wouldn't like the grip on the pick because it wasn't Tortex like I prefer but it's pretty good, I think I don't mind the JP logo raised as unlike regular Jazz III's because the logo is the same on both sides making grip consistent unlike on the standard Jazz III's. Another thing I was impressed with was the “slick polished tip” I noticed it was a lot smoother and slick to play fast compared to my Tortex Jazz III's although it is a very subtle but going back and forth between the two I did notice it.Overall a great pick and something I imagine would be better suited towards a rock guitarist but the polished tip would be great for metal or thrash. Would easily recommend for £5, still too early to say if I've found my new go to pick but if I lose these I will replace them. I have another set of picks I'll be getting tomorrow to play around with the Green Kirk Hammett Jazz III's and I'll be reviewing those tomorrow.Hopefully you found this review helpful and happy shredding.

Love these picks, perfect size for me, really comfortable especially for lead and shredding. The grip is good while not being too abrasive or uncomfortable. It's like a jazz iii but slight bigger, has a nice pointed and bevelled shape that picks strings with very little resistance. I've been using the same pack for years and they're all still going, aside from losing a few of course

The size of the JP fits perfectly between the jazz III and the Jazz III XL.I always loved the precision capabilities of the jazz III but found I did too many unintentional pinched harmonics with it and Jazz III XL while being awesome didn't have the super agility of its smaller counterpart so I tried the JP and it is a sort of jack of all trades.The JP has good agility and is easy to hold with its embossed logo. I found that I haven't dropped it and I can back off from the tip enough to fix those unwanted harmonics while still being able to easily catch screaming harmonics when I need them easier than larger plectrums.My only issue with the JP is the material. It is made of ULTEX which I find to have the highest "chirp" factor of any other plectrum material and I find it drags on the strings noticeably more than the buttery smoothness of a nylon jazz III (XL).The sound of plectrum is surprising. I was expecting super bright treble being ULTEX but intact this plec highlights mids with a more bass than the usual ULTEX. To put this into perspective I say a Jazz III XL has a full neutral EQ. A tortex plec has a bright EQ with higher treble and less bass and an ULTEX plec has piercing highs with subdued bass frequencies.Over all the JP is a great plectrum and well worth a try but it would be even better if we could get a nylon version of it.

I've had quite a lot of experience with most types of picks from the typical rounded dunlop/fender picks to big purple plectrums, and I've found my happy medium with the Petrucci Jazz III. They're quite a bit thicker than your typical plectrum and I find that this helps with maintaining a nice grip, and the JP logo along with the almost-matted texture also helps to stop the pick from slipping out of your fingers (these picks aren't too grippy unlike other picks that I've tried, but this is entirely subjective).The main reason that I enjoy these picks is that they have a hard and pointy edge with sharp bevels on either side, this helps massively with fast trem picking and general solo playing in maintaining accuracy and keeping everything sounding tight; I now couldn't go back to normal rounded picks because I really feel the difference with the sharp and hard point on these.In short, if you want faster, cleaner trem picking for shredding and don't mind a thick plectrum, buy a set of these picks. Over the years mine have slowly worn down and become dull, but this has taken a lot of time with heavy usage.

I must have spent hundreds of pounds searching for a decent pick for classic rock playing, but I was always put off from buying this pick because one reviewer said they were a bit too small. However, I can confidently confirm as a man with gigantic hands that these are the absolute best picks money can buy!

amazing pick, perfect fit in my hand, glides like butter on a hot knife, super easy to alternate pick with this, I never thought id notice such a difference with any pick100% would recommend
