The Wizard of Shred uses a bronze DR
http://www.drguitarpicks.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/wizardofshred#p/u/12/hvLhZ_JgEaE These are relatively inexpensive and do not wear down but they will wear down your strings. The Red Bear Big Jazzer is used by Guthrie Govan http://www.redbeartrading.com/ These are expensive and wear down. I use a Blue Chip Jazz LG 65 http://shop.bluechippick.net/ These are very expensive but never wear down. All of these picks are similar in shape to a Jazz 3 |

Pick is something personal, everyone will prefer different tone and feel from a pick. The way I choose new pick is go into the store, pick 10-15 picks that are close to my preference, try them all, and choose 4-5 to carry home. After a while I choose one Currently I use Dunlop Purple ones, but Pickboy CarbonNylon have been my all time favorite, precise and awesome tone.

Why blame the pick on sloppy playing?
The Jazz III XL is a sweet as pick to use, I also use the Dunlop USA Sharp 1.14mm (my new favorite) for shredding. However, check the position and rotate of how your picking. Ensure your just using the tip, not angled up or down but rotated forward for the best attack. Most of all make sure the pick is not moving position in the hand at speed (this is a sign your digging your pick in too much or inncorectly picking). You should keep a firm grip but be quite relaxed using short wrist motions. Only the picking hand thumb locks straight (rather than flexes) at speed for more accuracy, speed and control (note this also sounds more mechinacal so change back to flex when playing slower with emotion). Maybe one of your hands has developed more speed and you need to sync both your hands together again, it happens, your'll be a bit sloppy for a while, but it's a good thing as your breaking out of your speed block. Just don't let yourself stay playing sloppy! Play sloppy, stay a sloppy player, slow down if you must and get it under complete control again! Your nerves can also get the best of you, making your hand lock up, sloppy, or play slower. Simply shake it out and ensure your playing relaxed at all times. Play some simple warmup practices to get the hand under control and never play cold.

I'm using this one: but my favorite is this one: (it's difficult to find in Argentina) Yes, these are great Gab, I use this pick (or the pink, thinner one) The second one has that powdery feel to it, it's also nice, has a more natural tone. Plastic ones are cool, but there is a difference.. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

An individual thing. I use 1mm picks, although not a problem to play with thicker .

I've been using the 1.14mm Jim Dunlop Max-Grip Nylon Standard. I file down the tips with a metal file, which is a trick I learned from Todd Simpson. They're great because they don't wear out - so much so that they're kinda difficult to file - and the grippy surface really helps a greasy bastard like myself maintain a proper grip on it. There are better sounding picks out there, but as far as performance and comfort it concerned, it works best for me.
