I belive I recall someone said V-picks has good grip for sweaty hands. I have a few of those but I wouldn't know if they work like that since my hands usually stay dry when I'm playing. Could be worth checking out.

I'm a sweaty ass greaseball, so I've had a hard time finding a pick I could maintain a grip on. I've settled on the Dunlop Jazz III Max Grip picks, but before I used those I came up with a nifty little trick. I picked up a step tread with an adhesive back from a hardware store and cut out pieces to attach to my picks. Its got the abrasiveness of about 80 grit sand paper, so there is some serious friction going on. You could stick your hand in a bucket of lard and still be able to maintain a grip on this pick. keep in mind though, this will make your pick thicker.
Check out the tread here: Reflective Tread Heres a picture of the one I've created. -------------------- He who laughs last thinks slowest.

I feel your pain. I"m a big fan of Clayton picks and they make several that have great grip. First up, the S STONE PICK (These picks START at 2.0mm so they are THIIIIIICCCK)
Great grip and focused to a point like a Jazz III for shredding. Here is a link to more info. http://www.shopatron.com/products/productd...250/6/726.0.1.1 Next Up, the Clayton FROST BITE pik. Also, grippy and pointed like a Jazz III for shredding but a different material. Here is a link with more info. http://www.shopatron.com/products/productd..._12PK/726.0.1.1 Last up, my personal fav the Clayton SHARK PICK which actually has something that feels like sand paper on the pick front so it has killer grip and made of Acetal which I personally prefer over other materials due to it's rigidity and lack of flex. And the link http://www.shopatron.com/products/productd...H_6PK/726.0.1.1 I have several V picks and they are nice, but the tone they produce can be a bit "chirpy" I actually sanded/shaved the pointed one down to a finer point and it tamed the tone a bit. |

I use JazzIII too, but my other choice when (trying to) playing fast is this one:
It has sand-sides and it's NOT slippery. Worth a try? |
