It's basically a customized JAZZ III with a grip area to prevent slippage and nice pointy, beveled tip. : ) It's also 1.5 MM which is the exact thickness I prefer and am always pimping for picking practice. Here is a look and link. Anyone tried this yet? http://www.jimdunlop.com/product/john-petrucci-jazz-iii You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

They come to a point but the sides are blunt, just a slight bevel, and I am not fond of the profile as the pick comes to a point. The pick is pretty broad just above the point. However, after I take them to the garage and put the belt sander to them, they work pretty good. I reduce the curve on the side, making it more of a straight line between the widest part of the side and the tip. Then I sharpen the edges a little, like a knife blade. Then they work pretty good (for me). I had been using the Dunlop Sharp 1.14 Tortex and after getting use to the JP Jazz 3s, I don't want to go back to the Tortex any more. Of course, everybody has different ideas about what they want in a pick. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I have to take a boot knife to my CLAYTON 1.5 Acetyl picks in order for them to work/feel right. I like a pretty deep bevel and very sharp point. The only "Stock" picks that are even close, for me, are the VPICK Switchblade Blacks that Vinni custom sharpened for me. The standard VPick Switchblade/unbuffed that he made for me and now sells on his site, are a great choice for learning Alternate PIcking. The smooth sides really help students during the really tough phase of learning AP. Unbuffed (great training pick) Buffed/Xtra Sharp Black (great shredding pick) QUOTE (GregH @ Jan 17 2013, 10:25 PM) I am currently trying them.

And the GRIP area is a great idea Todd QUOTE (AK Rich @ Jan 23 2013, 09:02 PM) I will definately look for these picks next time I am at the music store, it seems like an improvement on the Jazz III's I love so much, the only issue I sometimes have with the Jazz III's is the grip.

Looking around on ebay I found another listing that was a little less expensive ($6.29 for 6, free shipping) but still over a dollar a pick. Regular Jazz 3 picks seem to be cheaper. They seem like a bargin compaired to the V-picks I just bought ($3.95 each plus $3 shipping). However, I hope not to have to do surgery (with my belt sander) to the V-picks before I can use them.

Jan 24 2013, 07:50 AM	Learning Guitar Hero Posts: 3.553 Joined: 10-September 11 From: Big Lake, Alaska	36 picks for $19.95 definately sounds more reasonable, thats right around 55 cents each. $3.95 for a pick , or some of the other brands out there that charge even more is just robbery if you ask me, unless they can last a long, long time. It would be a shame if you had to take your sander to a pick that costs almost 4 bucks each. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It will probably be a couple weeks before I see them though. In the meantime I decided to grab a Jazz III XL and a Jazz III Ultex. I had never seen the Ultex before, It's kind of a yellow or gold color that is translucent. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
