    Small, sharp, rigid enough. It requires to play precise, with a sharp attack. Perfect for anything that requires the velocity (metal or fast picking as written below). I tried stuff for years before making my choice on this model. It's been over 10 years now that I use.
    See also: Jazz III black / yellow / 2.0 / Petrucci.

    This black model is "stiffo". I do not like the hit, matter. And it slips badly on the ropes I think. Bad feelings. Jazz III red nylon remains my favorite.

    I use it since I started grattouiller 7 years ago and like any good guitarist who occasionally go out of his room, I tried everything to have fallen into my hands, all that guitarists and bassists that I could use to cross a pack of cigarettes cut through the wooden picks or glass.

    I trained bass player, then the guitar I needed a small and precise pick to force me to work on my accuracy (guitar / bass, this is not the same gap between the strings!).

I like the fact of leaving really beyond the tip of this small tool, which avoids too engage the pick between the strings and the body and allows you to play faster, longer, and was hand closer ropes, which is very important for me (since I'm the bass player base). I find it like good grip compared to what some people are writing, but I must say that I do not play on stage for long periods of time. Failure to leave its tip contact with the strings and thickness are as dear to me as you feel good strength, his attack and his inflexibility.

    Jazz III forever, at worst, I would change just for Mick Thomson Signature model, with the added grip.

    Edit 1: I went to Max Grip Jazz III came in between and actually, once you are past the model Max grip, hard to return to the standard shot. I lower my score a point ...

    Edit 2: I made Guitar and its small size and rigidity are (in my case) really not suitable as the feeling of the game that I'm trying to get. -1 Point.

    Not terrible

    Apart from the fact that its shape does not suit me (too small), it adds nothing to pick her on my archtop (note also applies to Jazz I and Jazz II more rounded at the end). He made the same sound as ordinary plastic plectrum, I appreciate a pick off adds a touch of color to the sound.
    I will not make that choice, I will not even try the XL version.
    I continued with my Dugain wood and Dunlop Dunlop Big Stubby Jazztone 207 waiting to try one day maybe Andrea Pro Plec.

    A great pick in focused situations.

    Dunlop Jazz III NylonPublished on 07/26/12 at 15:26
    I purchased the red variety at the same time I bought the black ones as they were the only two in production at the time. I figured there were no differences between the two other than the color and I would just case them cosmetically with guitars they matched best. Well there are differences between the two some which are good and some bad but that just gives an open minded player the chance to assign them to where they will work there best.

    The pick is about the size of a nickel with an added point. They come with a slight bevel on all four surfaces and have the pointiest tip of any other picks I have encountered. They are 1.38mm in thickness and are said to be made of ny…

    I purchased the red variety at the same time I bought the black ones as they were the only two in production at the time.

Well there are differences between the two some which are good and some bad but that just gives an open minded player the chance to assign them to where they will work there best.

    The pick is about the size of a nickel with an added point. They come with a slight bevel on all four surfaces and have the pointiest tip of any other picks I have encountered. They are 1.38mm in thickness and are said to be made of nylon but in my opinion seem to have a plastic feel when compared to the black Jazz III variety. They also have more pliability then any of the other Jazz III picks and will flex a touch more. They however are just as indestructible and also last an enormous amount of time leaving little to no debris on your instrument.

    Other than the color the first and most annoying difference in this variety is its slickness. Once you develop any sweat on your hand these picks will be a chore to hold onto. They are just as accurate as the black nylon Jazz III but because of the added pliability seem to fall just a step behind in speed and accuracy. The red variety seems to have a higher pitched attack which seems a bit undesirable when playing through a heavily distorted signal.

    On the other side of the coin the red variety of the Jazz III will offer less grab on the string and are even faster in sweep picking situations. They add a lighter touch to the higher notes and seem to flow over the strings with less effort. These picks really shine however on an acoustic guitar. They are my pick of choice for chord strumming as the attack has a higher pitched quality and the added flexibility allows for them to strum effortlessly across the chords while still affording me the accuracy of hitting only the strings I want. They are the perfect choice when voicing chords and melodies together in a solo gig. These are a good choice for use on a bass for the tone of the attack but the pliability seemed to make them a less that perfect choice.

    Of all the Jazz III pick these are my least favorite but only because they have the smallest amount of application for what I play. If I were more of an acoustic player my opinion would vary but I am not. I believe however that there is no other pick that will replace the red Jazz III for what I do use it for and where I use it I love it, just not enough to rate it any higher.

    The ultimate pick in nylon form.

    Dunlop Jazz III NylonPublished on 07/26/12 at 14:47
    This version of the Dunlop Jazz III was my first foray into this shape of picks. I had been a fan of nylon picks for years but found that many were too rounded at the tip for my taste and lacked the precision I desired. I decided after reading many reviews to give them a shot. I was immediately impressed and have never gone back to this day to any other shaped pick.

    The pick size is about that of a nickel with an added point. They come in a 1.38mm size so be ready for a medium thick pick. These picks also come with a slight bevel on all four surfaces and terminate into, what I believe to be, the pointiest pick on the market. As stated earlier this particular variety is n…

    This version of the Dunlop Jazz III was my first foray into this shape of picks. I had been a fan of nylon picks for years but found that many were too rounded at the tip for my taste and lacked the precision I desired. I decided after reading many reviews to give them a shot. I was immediately impressed and have never gone back to this day to any other shaped pick.

    The pick size is about that of a nickel with an added point. They come in a 1.38mm size so be ready for a medium thick pick. These picks also come with a slight bevel on all four surfaces and terminate into, what I believe to be, the pointiest pick on the market. As stated earlier this particular variety is nylon based and will last for an eternity when compared to other picks. They leave almost no noticeable residue on your instrument after even the longest sessions of playing and honestly there usually is no need for extra cleanups between normal maintenance.

    I have used many varieties of ultex, tortex, nylon and plastic picks before coming across the Dunlop Jazz III series. In my opinion there is no pick available on the market that can achieve the level of precision these picks offer. The shape itself will allow the user to play with much more accuracy and fluidity. The only downside I can find to the black nylon version of the Jazz III series is they do tend to get a bit slippery if you sweat and can get lost in the blur of speed that they can enable the user to unleash.

    Each of the Jazz III series seems to have a slight variation in the way they feel and sound from the other models available. The Black nylon Jazz III has a warm attack and can achieve a great variety of pick harmonics easily. They are equally at home playing rhythms and leads and are a very well balanced pick. I find however that they do not do as well for use on an acoustic guitar for strumming as they tend to dull the brightness of the strum a bit. I also find there are better choices available for use on an electric bass for those of us who use a pick on bass as they tend to not sound so crisp on the initial attack. However, there are other varieties of the Jazz III series that do excel in those areas and for the low cost of a pack of picks I have chosen not to lower the rating as they are the best in their niche.

    If I could find a better pick I would buy them but for the past eight years as of writing this review I have not found any pick outside of the Jazz III family that even comes close. When I purchase these I buy a 24 pack even though they last for what seems to be forever because I am that confident at this point of my life that no one is going to improve on this design.

    Not recommended for beginners because it is better able to control an already classic pick.
    Go to the rhythmic and return essentially. Attention to a good performance from the beginning to its small size.
    For the rest it's Dunlop: slow wear, comfortable to hold.

    I use the jazz III for years now (on electric only).
    this is not a pick that I advise beginners because it requires a certain mastery of the instrument.
    difficult for me to do without now, it allows me a closeness and comfort that I can not find with other picks.

    How long you use it?
    I tried this model for an hour, alternating shots with my Fender Heavy Cellulo usual
    Did you tried many other models before buying it?
    Yes, and all forms
    What is so special that you love the most, least?
    I did not like the grip (too small ...), the plastic and the sound.

    I return to my old cels .........

    Hi all! I am very surprised that there did not already have opinions on this pick ...

    I use it for 2 years now. Do not rely on the name because its shape gives it a very special take finger (oops) ideal and very good accuracy (especially solo).
    I tried quite a few other picks ... I think this is not to compare the best and the worst, but what is most suited to what you want to ...
    and then come to the tastes and colors.
    I use it in leaving only the tip of this pick of my fingers. allowing a game much more fluid and simple go back very fast.

    Beware on the other hand, I've seen for sale for € 1.50 as one for 50 cents ... so do not get ripped off!

Its size makes it easy to get artificial harmonics (it is also a matter of habit, because it is not ncessairement more difficult to do with mdiator large).

    Its strength is the matrial in which it is made. It provides a warm sound, and I think, really respect the color of the instrument over a game on his finger. Unlike Dunlop Tortex H3, I know well too, and that is not made in the same Matir, dlivre him more rounded, and does not sound plastic. This is an excellent rsolument mdiator.

    Three small BMOL (attention, my BMOL still trs litigious):
    - It is still a mdiator which wears relatively quickly, especially if you play with a deep draft of strings (Ernie Ball 11-48 for my part, and a 58 for a 7 If severe Croda , has put the mdiator hard evidence). But it is obvious that this dpend also the angle of attack, as if one plays with mdiator slanted or more flat compared to the ropes. Personally, I attack with lots of angle, which does not benefit its Longva, it's the same problem nanmoins whatever the mdiator. Also, it leaves the dusts of black nylon fingers wearing (but I do not Whereas this as a default, but plutt as an indicator of wear).
    - Registration of a Jim Dunlop ct JIII and the other fingers to feel good. The advantage is that it retains a trs good performance, but it's not the most comfortable forcment - Tortex H3 is a prfrable, but it's really the small dtail .. .
    - Its price is lev particularly in relation to other models of the brand (type Tortex). The matrial as well as its success there must be something to do with the price. But at least 50 cents pice, not even when it is given especially when it eats almost a day. But given her a quality I find worth to the dpense. It is sold in bags of 24 spices, which can have quite large in number, and the cot rduire the unit.

    In short, this is the best mdiator I know, the more enjoyable to use, in its grip (the fact that we feel is not rdibitoire entries, one should not exaggerate rer), and especially for his Fidler to the sound of the instrument. Apart ct "attack" induced by its use (even when it was used), it makes the same sound color a game on his finger, which is really rev appr Ciable because it does not color PForm sound of the guitar.
