All user reviews for the Dunlop Jazz III Nylon

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.

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 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.

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.

I use it since I started 7 years ago grattouiller and like any good guitarist who occasionally go out of her room I have to try everything that I could fall under the hand of all that guitarists and bassists that I could use to cross pack of cigarettes cut through the wooden picks or glass.

I'm bassist training, then to the guitar I needed a little pick and precise force me to work on my accuracy. I like the failure to keep pace really just the tip of this small tool, which prevents over-commit the pick between the strings and the body and can play faster, and more, and it was the hand as close ropes, which is very important for me (since I'm bassist at the base). I think it would well in hand compared to what some are writing, but we must say that I do not play on stage for prolonged periods. Failure to let its tip touch the strings and its thickness are dear to me because they feel good and resistance, his attack and his inflexibility.

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

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!

at least now I use almost more than that!

I use the mediator for over 1 month.
It is extremely versatile, despite its name (I only play metal and punk with). It is a formidable precision, in single-and rhythm ...
I tried various thickness of the series Dunlop Tortex 0.50 and 0.60 mm in the series and Lucky 13 in 0.60 and 0.73 mm, without being convinced.

Yes I would do this choice because at the moment is the only mediator appeared to me "better" than others in its grip and perfect precision.
I bought the 50 cents which for a mediator is a good value for money, I think ...

PS: It is indestructible ... I only use it for a month and is like new!
I heard that stores were selling more expensive than others ... be careful

Mdiator small (1.38) pointed toe, nylon (the red nylon MODEL diffrent, less rough, which changes lgrement sound, and I prfre the black). This is equivalent in size Dunlop Tortex H3.

Using a mdiator Got a question of, especially in terms of size, thickness, and hardness of matrial. So personally, I always used the mdiators small and rev hard, because it allows for (I think), an attack stronger and better precision in fast-paced game. 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.

I agree with the view Previous (Undertaker) and I use the mini mdiators for the same reasons.
I used this before mdiator mini stubby 2mm in dunlop. being given that I could not find these in all mdiators mags I tried the Jazz III level which is close enough size ... I fell in love with this mdiator!

I recall the feeling I had playing with the mini stubby, but the sound with jazz III I like a lot more ...
I tried a bunch of matrial and shape level mediator (the cellulodes, which gives a too plastoc I got, the flexible, hard, wood, bone, mtal ...).
I prfre far the mini trs hard!
the sound caused by the contact of jazz chords and III: I find a trs trs hot soup, how to say a must try and compare all about feeling: D
I now use Jazz III 99% of the time, the rest is a Gator Grip 2mm

When I was first starting to play guitar I experimented with a lot of different things to see what I liked. I recommend everyone do this when you first start. In my first couple years of playing I tried out a few different types of picks. The Jazz 3 was one of them. The Jazz 3 has a few features I like and a few I dont. I still use them from time to time and I can see why people like them. Many shred guitar players use Jazz 3 picks. Shred guitar players tend to like these picks because of their sharp tip. The sharp tip is really good for playing fast. It allows you to get a nice bite on the string even if you barely touch it. With the sharp tip you can be extra precise in your picking while still playing fast and light. With its small size and tip you can be very economical in your picking motion and economics are the key to speed. The small size is the only reason I do not go to these picks first when I am playing. With the small size I have a tendency to drop these picks. I also noticed that when playing hard with these picks they sometimes turn around in my hand. This may not happen to you or anyone else but these are my personal experiances with these picks. When playing heavy the small size does not give me a lot of room to hold on to the pick. The Gator Grip 2mm picks I prefer to use are full sized and have a non slip sandpaper like surface on them. You can really dig in to everything you play with those picks and they will not go anywhere. They now have larger versions of the Jazz 3 out called the Jazz 3 XL. I may have to check those out and see if I change my mind. If you are looking for a super sharp pick that is as precise as a surgeons scalpel this pick is for you.

Up until about a year and a half ago, I was using a plethora of picks, never being quite satisfied with any of them enough to settle down with one and use it on a regular basis. I guess the closest I had come to being happy with the feel and sound of a pick prior to the Jazz III was with the regular sized Tortex .88 picks. They always had a clumsy feel though and weren't substantial enough. Also, I couldn't tightly control my lead playing with regular sized picks.

Back in '09, my buddy handed me his red Jazz III and said "here, try this". I can't believe I never tried one until then, but once I did, it was love at first strum! Sure it took a couple days for my playing to really adjust to the pick, but I can honestly say that I've become a much more efficient player since switching to the smaller Jazz III. The smaller size and pointed end have allowed me to do things with my playing that I couldn't quite do before. Sweep picking is now much less difficult and sounds smoother. The annoying "clicking sound that was always present with the regular picks isn't as noticeable with the Jazz III.

All in all, there is just more control and efficiency with this pick, and it allows me to be a better player and enjoy the guitar more. Another cool thing about the Jazz III is how natural it feels, no matter what side of the pick I'm using. For example, for intricate runs and scalar patterns where I pick every note cleanly and quickly, I can use the hard pointed tip of the Jazz for very precise and clean sounding results. When I switch to legato mode and throw in sweeps I can rotate the pick, using the slightly harder, smoother and more "glassy" rounded edge for smooth runs that blur together and play effortlessly. Regular picks allow you do use their different edges as well, but there is much more resistance.

Dunlop has several picks available in the Jazz range, including Jazz I, II, and III picks, which have the same size and shape, but differ in gauge. They also offer Ultex Jazz III picks, which are made from a very durable material that resists wear and has a smooth release on the strings giving the pick a very glassy sound and feel. Dunlop have recently added Tortex picks to the Jazz III line as well. I haven't played one yet as they've only just been released, but I'm looking forward to grabbing some so I can compare them to the rest of the line!

The standard Jazz III shape comes in red and black, and you'll hear many guitarists argue that one or the other has a better or somehow different tone, despite the fact that they're both crafted from the same materials and are the same thickness and weight. I honestly did hear and feel a slight difference between the red and black IIIs. The red seemed to be a bit darker, while the black one resembled the Ultex Jazz with a more glassy and slippery feel and tone; ha ha, guitarists are an obsessive bunch!

If you have been living under a rock forever (like I apparently was for years) and are finding that your standard size picks are feeling clumsy and holding you back as a player, give the Jazz III a shot, and give it a couple days to settle into your picking style. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Exellent pick .. I tried a lot of picks for the moment (all tortex, picks and felt a big part of the range dunlop) and I can easily say that this pick is almost perfect in every domaines.Je repeat .. Because for almost a bit funky rhythms .. I find it too dur.Il is smaller than the others, but its small size, this pick offers incredible attack and dynamics exellent.

I also use it with my Jazz Bass and there .. I'm doing something a little spécial.Je plays with the edge "round" of the pick (ie upside down) to get a sound close to the game fingers (I can not do because of tendon problems) and I get a more than convincing.

I would do if the choice was to do and I highly recommend it.

The Dunlop Jazz 3 guitar picks, are a smaller brand of picks that happen to be my favorite size. Since they discontinued the Everly Jazz Star III picks, I have been playing with the Dunlop Jazz 3s. They are very similar in their feel, the only difference being that the Everly picks have a little star in the middle of them. I've definitely adapted to using the Dunlop Jazz 3s very quickly as they have a great feel and are easy to play with. I don't have the biggest hands in the world, so having a small pick is a real necessity for me. I like it to be a slight extension of my finger, just sticking out enough to strike the string of the guitar. Not only are they the perfect size for me, but they are also the right amount of sturdiness, as they aren't at all flimsy. At the same time, they also aren't too heavy and thick. While I could do it if I had to, I really don't like playing with any other style of pick other than the Jazz ones. Perhaps it is because I've gotten really used to it, but for me there is no better pick. While I do wish that they still made the Everly Jazz IIIs, the Dunlop Jazz 3s are really a fine substitute and I don't see myself playing with any other pick anytime soon. While these aren't the most readily available picks, you can definitely find them in guitar shops that have a larger selection of picks, and certainly online. They are priced the same as just about any other guitar pick, so price should really not be a consideration when it comes to picks. While I can't say that I would necessarily recommend them, as picks are a very personal thing, I will say that a lot of players find these very easy to play with, myself included. If you're thinking that the Dunlop Jazz 3 picks might be a good fit for you, I'd highly encourage you to try playing with one when you get a chance, as they have really worked out great for me...
