I'm thinking by the comments that his has officially become an ad for Jazz III picks. haha

Me, a fingerstyle player: interesting

Before I watched this I said, “he better talk about how much better acoustic guitar sounds with thin picks.”
Did not disappoint.

Once I tried Jazz 3 and I’d never look back. Jazz 3 2.0 ❤️

I've been playing those green guys for 20 years. I just today realized that these picks are in rainbow/ROYGBIV order.

The thing about thick vs  thin picks for me is that with thicker picks, you can always just hold it more loosely if you want that flop. With thinner picks, it doesn't matter how hard you grip the pick, it will always flop around.

"Are You SURE You're Using the Right Pick Gauge?" absolutely fuccking not lmao :(

I like to use a thick pick when I want to use it like a hammer, and a thin one when I want to use it like a brush.

Jazz III’s are where it’s at, in my opinion.

My first pick was an Ernie Ball glow-in-the-dark God-knows-what gauge. Then my dog chewed it up, then my oldest brother tried fixing it but he split it in half so he gave me a pick of his as ''compensation'' but now my other dog chewed up that one as well.

I use a fairly thin pick , but what i find better is the fact that there is a grip texture to it and its much easier to hold on to in light or heavy picking.

The bottom line is, to each their own. Just like women, we all have our preference. Thick, thin, redhead, yellow, midget, stepsister, it's all good.

4:26 "verses the heaviest pick I have, listen to this"
Me "oh that's so much nicer"
"see it gets dull sounding"
Me :(

I was just reminded that back in college I used to play with a worn down quarter.

When I first started playing at 14, I thought those Fender confetti picks were the coolest thing ever. I remember taking the bus out to some music shop that mainly sold grand pianos, just to get those stupid picks, because that was the only place I knew of that had them. Little things like that, that get you stoked on playing your guitar are important. It makes it fun and helps you reconnect with the things that inspired you to pick up the guitar in the first place. That’s why I do stuff like always play using coiled amp cords, because they remind me of Jimi Hendrix setting his guitar on fire at the Monterey Pop Festival, and how amazing it was the first time I saw that footage.

Paul Gilbert uses a .60 pick (Dunlop orange). He said his shredder friends were horrified when he told them but now he can't get enough of that slappy feeling. Whatever works for you is the best pick. Don't let other people tell you what's right or wrong.

Thinner picks are great for rhythm. I’d always use a thin pick if I’m playing funk, the floppiness of the pick actually makes it easier to achieve certain rhythms

It's weird because ever since the beginning I always wanted a smaller and thicker pick. When I discovered Jazz 3 everything changed, even more when I discovered the Max Grip version.
