ESP 0.8MM with Grip
V picks - small pointed
Jazz III
I'm sure most people are familiar with the Jazz III picks, small, sharp attack. Easy to handle and very comfortable to play with. I have a preference for hard picks, the Jazz III was a very easy choice. However somehow they do tend to slip and requires constant repositioning. It also seems like i have to hit harder and grip tighter, i cannot play with the Jazz III picks for long durations.
ESP 0.8MM with Grip
I got introduced to the ESP pick by a fellow friend of mine. It got my attention really quick especially with the grip. Now i have a pick where there's a little grippy material which clings onto my fingers. it being longer means i could dig deeper into my attack (due to the way i hold my pick). However, it didnt have the same stiffness as the Jazz III.
so i wondered if there was ever a pick that i could have what i wanted in a pick : Hard, long enough to dig in but not too big a pick, clings onto my fingers.
I cant exactly remember when was the first time i tried the picks but the difference i felt was immediate.
The pick was hard like i would like in a pick, long enough to dig in for those hard attacks and somehow they cling onto my finger. I have no idea what the picks are made of but they really do. some people might be skeptical about these, but the picks do improve your tone by noticeable differences, better if i may add. single notes sound fuller and the way the pick glides across your strings makes it an absolute joy to play faster runs. It's very difficult putting into words how much difference these picks have made for my playing. im able to practice longer due to less effort being put in to hold the pick so tight, yet every note is full.
to make sure that the premium im paying was well worth it. i went full circle once again to confirm my doubts. safe to say, i wasnt wrong. to add, buying from brendon has been hassle free, i dont even have to leave the comfort of my seat. nice and friendly guy to deal with too
