I've used different picks along the years and the one that I've found more balanced for everything that I play is Dunlop 1.5m. It feels good to me and I can alternate from riffing, soft rhythm to blues and shredding really naturally.
A cool vid about the topic: I'm curious about what you are using and why. This post has been edited by Gabriel Leopardi: Apr 24 2017, 02:12 PM -------------------- My lessons

You know I usually don't care for signature gear.
But after trying these 1.5m Jazz III, Its all that I use nowadays. Funny fact, for some reason I've always found easier to play with Black Jazz III rather than Red Jazz III

Red Jazz III XL
The 'reds' are a little softer than the blacks. It's the dye in the nylon. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I have become a sucker for Mr Vonhotch's aluminium picks, especially the one called "flying dutchman".

Dava picks for me. They are very grippy so they don't slide in my fingers. And you can adjust the gauge by repositioning them in your hand.

Interesting to see how much diversity we have here. However Jazz III is wining now... I honestly haven't used this picks. Do you find any advantage on using them? I wonder why many shredders like Guthrie and Petrucci use this type of picks...
My choice comes from my early Malmsteen admiration...  QUOTE (Rammikin @ Apr 26 2017, 11:20 AM)  Dava picks for me. They are very grippy so they don't slide in my fingers.

I have a new student at Gab's Army that will find these like a good option... -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (Mertay @ Apr 26 2017, 07:27 PM) Their balance is really good for soloing, glides nice but you still feel the string enough. The red ones (nylon) offer a bit more tone control while being a bit less shreddy, Bonamasa and Eric johnson uses them. They're ok for powerchords but to me not so good for banging chords. QUOTE (Kristofer Dahl @ Apr 27 2017, 08:32 AM) I have used jazz III for a long time. They are really precise: because of their size you have to hold them in a way which makes you in total control of the super pointy edge. I'll buy some and see how I feel. I've used dunlop sharp tortex in the past which where good for shredding but felt weird for other stuff. -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (yoncopin @ Apr 27 2017, 09:57 AM) I use the Dunlop Ultex 1.38mm Jazz III XL (what a mouthful). I like the Jazz III shape, but with the small ones I was always rubbing my fingertips on the strings, I always felt cramped. The XL is the same shape but just a bit bigger, I find it to be the best of both worlds and the Ultex is very long wearing. That sounds good. -------------------- My lessons
