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!

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.

Great picks. I like the black jazz 3s but find them easy to drop due to them being small.. These are better because they're still pretty much the same but just bigger so easier to hold.

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.

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 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!

What can be special in an innocuous piece of tiny little "hard-something" to sound the guitar string? Poor and fancy-free, as amateur players, we tried everything from laminated plastic, sanded-down molded plastic, metal alloys, shells, bone, coins with various compositions, coat buttons. . . A detailed list would be a hundred items, maybe, including actual cheap-picks of various makes and elite-signatures. We learned, good-technique, right firmness, hard-wearing material, comfortable thickness and smooth edges are the basics of any decent pick & style-of-picking. We fashioned our own, saved a tiny pile, over the years. Then, we chanced upon JP, mostly, pulled by the name of the artist, 'cause we dig his music. Wow! Did it not make a difference! John & Jim got this so right! It has all the attributes of a great pick, and, then some. Many of us, intermidiate onwards, tried it on Electric, with prog, rock, metal, blues and jazz. Most beginners felt very comfortable, too. Pick IS a preference, foremost. Yet, Technique being sacrosanct, it is Fast, Accurate and Articulate. Whether one is strumming, tremelo-picking, shredding, angling or sweeping, it does not disappoint. Not much noise-on-string. There may be better options for Accoustic or Classical, though, depending on the players style and needs. One unforeseen after-effect, which made us wince with mirth and pain, we played so very long, non-stop, all of a sudden, buoyed by the pleasant discovery that a pick could indeed be truly-signature, most of us had arm fatigue. Thanks, John & Jim.

I quite like these.. They are pointy and therefore accurate in fast passages. They last longer than tortex picks of the same outline. They are flat, unlike beveled Ultex jazz3s and so many players will prefer this aspect of these picks to what is really the standard. If you like the undersized, medium sharp jazz3 profile, these might accidentally be the best ones on the market right now. They are actually slightly larger than regular jazz 3 picks and i like them more than primetones which are noticeably smaller... The only pick of this profile i like more is the regular Ultex version, (Oh wait, and 205s, if those count. Those are truly great for fast passages too) and that mainoly comes down to the bevel of those picks- They are thick in the center and thin out toward the point. They wear superbly. These wear decent, as they are flatpicks, many player will like these more. They don't take a bit of a learning curve to use if you've played other jazz3s, like beeveled picks such as ultex3s or stubbies.. The textured surface keeps them in hand and I actually quite like the polished edges (This is a feature of some pricier Flow picks and now, having gotten used to it, i think all picks should have polished edges). I think they are universally good picks for fast, single-line playing and associated genres such as bluegrass, jazz and metal. You really don't even have to know who John Petrucci is to appreciate them. I've watched a number of my students switch to these as they play faster music. I, myself, have used these and ultex 3s exclusively when teaching electric guitar for the past two years. I will go out on a limb and call them the best artist series pick ever released. I think that's true..

J`utilise des plectres de plus en plus durs et affutés depuis quelques années ; habitué aux Jazz III " classiques" , petits, précis , " fontaines à harmoniques artificielles ". Mais là il s`agit de jouer dans une autre cour : très bon grip , plus dur que les Jazz III , les attaques sont précises , le jeu rapide semble plus facile , la tranche glissant sur les cordes . Grosse attaques sur les accords , le son semble plus puissant dans les haut-médiums et équilibré dans les basses , le timbre général amélioré . Mais toutes ces qualités sont contrebalancées par une mise en relief des défauts dans son jeu : peu de droit à l`erreur , l`on ne peut que progresser avec . Je ne recommande pas pour une acoustique ou un jeu en strumming . Pratiquant plusieurs heures au quotidien je n`ai pas encore constaté d`usure à la pointe.

Llevo unos 30 años tocando la guitarra. 20 de ellos o más como profesional (en bandas, orquestas y como maestro) He probado todas las púas del mundo habidas y por haber. Soy MUY raro para las púas. Tengo púas de 25€ la unidad... Ésta es (a día de hoy y desde hace unos años ya) con la que más cómodo estoy. Cierto que el tono de una últex, por ejemplo, me gusta más, pero en comodidad es un big win. Toco todos los estilos pero sobre todo para shred, rock, metal... son de lo mejor que hay
