Glad you like em! Vinnie and I worked together to create the pick and I"m thrilled with how it turned out. These picks just RAWK! I am still experimenting with other Vpicks, but so far this one is my fav. It's fast, pointy, and smooth!

I've never played with such an awesome guitar pick before! I only bought 3 because I wanted to try them out, but I think I'll buy a higher quantity after these wear out or I lose them. I was surprised because I noticed a difference in the tone right away. And the grip is nice. I tried switching from the nylon dunlop picks with the grip to my old tortex picks and they kept sliding in my hand because I wasn't used to them. These ones stick in place  Haven't tried them yet? I recommend it! |

I also switched to the switchblade buffed (no pun intended). A great pick.

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Apr 16 2012, 03:07 PM) They are a bit extreme in terms of the tonality and they need to be held a certain way, etc. They are not for everyone, honestly. But if your one of the folks that they "click" with, not much else will do. I've noticed this about them, folks either love em or or don't like em at all. I have yet to find someone who "kinda" liked em, or "Sorta" used them. It's a polarizing pick  I just emailed you about this thread actually in response to your PM. I contacted Vinni to let him know to look out for an email from you. I love my Jazz III's. Wasn't a fan of the tortex model, but they kindof of grew on me ~ they get a little slippy, but carving a cross hatch on both sides of the pick seems to eliminate that problem ! I'll try a V-Pick one day, but my concern is that I'll lose all my picks in the dryer or refirgerator and then my only recourse to replace them quickly would be to order more? ~ just easier to go to a guitar shop and pick up a handful on the spot. But I will try V-picks to see what all the hubbub is about  Who knows, maybe I'll love them so much I stockpile them in every room, freezer, cupboard and sock droor in the house for that "oh no moment"!

I used to use the Green Tortex Sharp (.88) but now all I use is the Switchblade. It IS thicker than what I used for years, but don't assume that because it's what you do/currently are used to, that it is the best pick. I've found that by going thicker than .88, I can play more accurately. To each his/her own of course, but many of the better players agree on that. I'd highly suggest trying the Switchblade buffed.
QUOTE (Pourliver @ Apr 18 2012, 07:12 PM) I don't know if I should buy V-picks, I tried many pick last year, but I found only 1 that matches with my playstyle. I love it when the pick is not too thick ( 0.88 and less ) and have a little sharp edge with a little bit of flex. My first impression on V pick, it looks too thick... I don't know if you guys can help me out the perfect one, but it would be cool  The Switchblade look really great ... -------------------- Check out my awesome Nintendo Cover-band, EMULATOR!! http://www.reverbnation.com/emulator Now.....go practice!! |

QUOTE (Pourliver @ Apr 19 2012, 04:57 PM) Switchblade really looks great. Everyone seems to love them. What the difference while playing with a switchblade Buffed and unbuffed ? No, I never tried the Stiletto but I did try the Dunlop Sharp, it was really cool, but I lost it at school  If I can't find something else, I'll get back to these picks Good question! The Switchblade is my FAV too! BUFFED = Smooth Edge UNBUFFED = Less Smooth at Edge My "Custom" pick is the SWITCHBLADE BUFFED. They didn't come like this at first, but after working with Vinnie at Vpicks, we came up with a BUFFED and SHARP/POINTY version of the swichblade that I just LOVE! It's the pick I wish I had when I was learning alternate picking. It's similar to a training pick I used to use actually. Great for speed, precision. Here is the link to them. https://bitly.com/vpicktodd STILLETTO vs SWITCHBLADE The Stiletto is SMALLER so it might fit your hand better?

BINGO! I've found that about 1.5 MM is my perfect width. It's a variable for each person to figure out what works best. For me it's right at 1.5MM. My fav CLAYTON and VPICK picks are both 1.5 MM. Thicker means less "Flex/bend" which does help IMHO with precision. |
