Plectrum Spectrum, Pick Your Favorite Picks

One thing that we keep loosing it, yes the guitar picks/Plectrum. this cute little stuff is somehow annoying. We choose picks more carefully than guitar strings, but we lost them more often than we break our guitar strings. this stuff is too small for for anyone to keep and here I’m not going to talk about how to keep this stuff since i can’t keep my own picks from loosing them, hahaha..

but, actually which one is our favorite? all we can do is trying them one by one to decide which one fits to our playing. it can’t be decided just by reading articles and recommendations. but here I share some thoughts about guitar picks/plectrums those affect our guitar playing.

Your picking technique affects all reason in choosing guitar picks/plectrum. here i share video of Steve Morse’s essential idea in picking technique. He has quite unique picking grip which enhances his guitar skills. (at least that’s what he told us on the video, ^_^ )


next,
Thickness.  there are various thickness, start from 0.05 mm (or even smaller) to 2.00 millimeters.  some people buy all these in order to practice picking lesson and somehow it works to enhance the picking power and accuracy for some people. who knows, wanna try?

Size. the picks width is one thing for your consideration. for me, i like the small one like dunlop jazz III because it touches the string perfectly without adding annoying picks’ space like the usual one.

Grip. some picks have grip texture that helps us to grab(pinch?) it in convenient way. here i share some guitar picks images, you can see here how manufacturers modify this grip stuff.

what suits me? Dunlop Nylon Jazz Pick Pack, Sharp/Red is fine for my playing. it suits best on my grip. but who knows? if you want some more, here i share my pick recommendations on amazon. happy picking!

how many times i met Roland Jazz Chorus JC-120 ?

Roland Jazz Chorus JC-120 is my favorite. i met few combos on stages and this combo amp impressed me. in a week, i play on at least minimum 2 stages those use Roland Jazz Chorus JC-120 and i see no reason to explain why. almost all know that Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus has a great tone enhancements. some metal users might not like it because it is not big enough or any other reasons, but for me Roland Jazz Chorus JC-120 helps me a lot on my playing and sound options.

Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus

Roland Jazz Chorus JC-120 has a great way to modify guitar tone. it has overdrive and reverb effect, vibe and chorus switch-knob effects. try them, those effects will changes our guitar tone significantly. you can find some good reviews on YouTube and see what i meant here.


some might think i never met other one 🙂 but i made some comparisons while playing combos on stage, some might like PEAVEY bandit 112 on my previous post about combo amp, but we should explore stuff and being open-minded about these things right? i love learning and finding new things, especially anything about my love, guitar.
