V-picks you get from Brendon, don't think there're any local shops selling them.

probrably only you, me and dhalif
i swear by profound Is, the transparent and semi-transparent ones
why?
the indent/grip thingy is a unique hold for a pick, i find i can only do my grouping of 5 funk chops smoothly with AIOs, something to do with wrist angle and stuff
the grip also is awesome, i've never accidentally dropped an AIO pick, even when i'm doing 16th note octave chord patterns
mi only prob is that their almost always out of stock, and expensive for an idiot like me that loses picks at a rate of 2.3 a week

I thought this thread is about "the shredders" pick... 
Hahahahhha... Oh well...
I'm currently using either the red Dunlop Jazz III or the green Tortex Jazz.
The red Jazz III is more flexible and give a "smoother" sound (!!??) than the black ones.
The green Tortex gives a different sound and snap and i especially love it when its worn out and rounded at the tip.
Loves the way it bends when playing hard too.
What i don't like about these Jazz picks are, they're difficult to "hide and hold with my middle finger" when i want to use my fingers instead.
Its easier to do that with normal picks...
Since i'm not a shredder, i have a few "real shredders" picks to share:
- During his early solo years Paul Gilbert uses these white picks (abt 1.14mm thck).
- He switched to yellow Tortex (.73mm) during his Space One tour (he uses the orange Tortex .6mm thck now!).
- Yngwie uses this white pick (abt 1.5mm thck)
- Neil Zaza uses this purple 2mm Delrin 500 before Dunlop made the same ones in blue for him.
- Andy Timmons uses the Tortex Black Gold Jazz (1.14mm thck).
Oh, and Eric Johnson fans take note: Dunlop made signature red Jazz III picks model for him. Modelled after "vintage Jazz III from Eric’s collection".
No wonder he said he have no picks to give when i asked him for one...
Hope that gives insight on shredders' picks... :mrgreen:
