We guitarists are a strange species indeed. Much like those golfers. Don't deny it - those of us who have unconditional love for the instrument and practice at an excessively regular rate have had, at one point, a thousand different picks lying around the house. The reason? It affects tone, we say; it makes me play faster, we say;...
Picks are things that I think a lot of guitar players take for granted. I know a lot of players who have a box of about 50 or so picks that they have accumulated over the years and think nothing of playing with the one nearest to hand. I used to do this as well, until I started to notice how drastically tone and technique can be affected ...
There are already a fair few very good and in depth reviews for these amazing plectrums so I will try to keep this one short and sweet! Plectrums are one of those things until this year I had not thought much about or questioned in anyway. I had used Jim Dunlop stubby's for all my 16 years of playing and had never thought to upgra...
I had never tried Clayton picks before as I had been strictly a Dunlop guy for many years. Strange enough I won a contest from a guy that had over 300 brand new picks he wasn't using. In this lot he had about 50 of the 1.0 white Claytons. All I can say is that I have played them ever since. Every guitar player knows the pick is a very import...
For Christmas of 2008 my wife and I decided to buy my daughter what she wanted more than anything in the world, a guitar. She had just started playing violin that school year and wanted to learn to play what Daddy played as well. I loved the idea and went with it. The only concern I had was what to do to help her picking technique. That was ...
For any of us bass player that just do not have the ability to play fast line finger style have I got news for you. There is an alternative, albeit a messy one. After trying dozens of picks trying to achieve a natural sound of skin on string I believe I have found the closest alternative in the Dunlop felt pick. Do not let...

I love picks because to me, a pick is as important to the sound of your guitar as a bow is to the sound of a violin. If you don’t believe that, it’s easy to test – put your pick down and strum with your fingers. Woah, major difference in sound! Swap the pick out for a coin sitting around. Again, huge difference in sound! <b...
I had been using the black and red nylon Jazz III picks for close to a decade and was extremely happy with them. While they each had a purpose that I used them for when I saw there were two new choices available I could not wait to give them a try. The new picks appear to be the same shape and size as the original however the carbon fiber vari...
