Finally..talking about gipsy picks....many many hours spend thinking and trying....at this time I finally concluded as your charts....maybe it will be appreciate some years and money ago :)

Just want to throw my 2 cents. I've been using dunlop gator grip 2.0 since my guitar journey begins 10 years ago.  I'm glad you mentioned Primetone, using  307 large with round tip but it's was  a big surprise for me then I tried use the side of this pick. I've immediately feel speed increasing it's so easy now to play fast, without compromising tone. And yes they sound much richer than gators. Just try to do this and let me know. Thanks for video!

Great video, very interesting. I hope to see a lot more like this!

I liked the Delrin; so I used an X-Acto knife to cut multiple slits vertical and horizontal on both sides.  Created just enough friction to get rid of the slipperiness.

Ace!
Useful opinions from you both and its good to know others obsess about these little things :-)

I,ve sat down twice in the store and tried every pick. Both times I settled on the green Dunlop. I was very pleased to see that you concur; it sort of settles it for me; I bought a whole bag of them and now they're all over the house. I've never broken one, either.

I will give the green gator a try

really enjoyed this vid.  Thanks Christiaan.

Really fun and informative! thanks.  I think someone should have a pick library for players to check out some picks, try them out for a while to decide which ones they like best. I probably have 15 different kinds of picks (spent up to $200) that I tried out but will never use.

As someone who transitioned from 40 years of playing electric guitar to gypsy jazz I tried all kinds of picks including the Wegen and many others. Eventually I settled on and have been using for the past 6 years the Dugain Superdug Bone pick which is contoured to your thumb and index finger and is 5mm thick. When I tried using my old Fender thin tortoise shell picks that I used for all those years starting in the 1960's I simply couldn't. So whether I play gypsy jazz, electric rock/r & B/etc. on my Tele or traditional jazz on my arch tops, it's the Dugain all the way. Nothing compares. The only difference is how I use the pick. For GJ it's brute force loud pick hitting the strings straight on, when playing electric I angle the pick so the pick hits the strings more gently and on an angle. I love these picks even though they are expensive at over 15 euros a pop.

that was really entertaining and useful info, just got a Gitane JJ and realised my big stubby is losing tone, as I dont play pointy end either, but sounds too dull ;) primetime and gator picks ordered :)

regarding the dunlop "wegen".  i managed to make quite shallow speed bevel on one of these,  polish it to shiny and its the fasted and most confortable pick i own, but i doubt i will be able to duplicate it.

Really interesting! As a metal player, I find most picks are too ROUND for me. Sharp tips help me gain speed and clarity.

try the v-pick.  i only now use V-Pick Gypsy and V Pick Tradition 1.5

YOU'RE RIGHT!!! AFTER A LOT OF PICK SEARCHING, I THINK DUNLOP GATOR 1.5 IS TRULY THE BEST!!! ;)

What do you think about the Dunlop's Jazz III range guys?

Could you explain what you mean by playing on the side of the Pick?  Does it mean just slightly away from the point or literally all the way up the side in the upper corner? I'm just a beginner.  Thanks
Thanks

How do you guys hold a pick when you play with the side. That is, is the point of the pick ( the part where most people would pick)  pointing more towards you or more away from you.. If you know what I mean!  PS and did you try holding pick each way?

Have you tried Swiss Picks?

I ordered them all to try:) except the bluechip TD80
