« Super sharp and fast »

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.
