Jim Dunlop 1.35mm Tortex Flow Standard Picks, 12-Pack

Picks are all about preference.Dependant on the way you play you may like thicker or lighter gauges.For me, thick is best.Little to no yield when dig in for chugging or alternate picking.The texture of the finish on these picks are my favourite.

I really like these because I learned on fender thins. These have a sharper tip and better grip. Plus they are way more durable and cost effective too. I really like them a lot. I use them mainly on electric guitars with light to medium strings. I think the .50 is a little too thin for most standard acoustics. Good picks.

Best pick for live and recording

I play technical death metal professionally which requires a lot of picking hand speed and aggressive pick attack for both live and recording situations. The tone required for my genre requires plenty gain saturation while also having clarity of each note shine through the mix. The traditional .88mm Tortex picks were my go to for tracking but they were very difficult to play live and relaxed. I used the FLOW Ultex picks live for the comfort and more surface area than Jazz III picks for better control but they have that annoying chirp sound in the pick attack that makes the clarity of the note weaken, especially in a recorded mix it becomes obvious. When they made the Tortex Flow it combined the best of both world into one and I now have the ease of playing from the ... MoreI play technical death metal professionally which requires a lot of picking hand speed and aggressive pick attack for both live and recording situations.

Consistently reliable and comfy

These picks are perfect for me. I play fast punk/thrash bass where the attack is most of my tone. These picks just get it done. I tend not to throw them away, and have a small handful that get regular use. Takes a while to wear them down to nubs. They last. The grip is great. The shape is awesome.Yeah, there are more expensive picks and some sound and/or feel good. But these are home base.

Great Overall Pic

I am the kind of guitar player that has to do it all in my band. I will play my aocusitc, my electric both leads and rhythm. We play all kinds of styles too, so I needed a pick that could handle both. I ended up going with these picks, they are small enough to allow you to choke up on the grip or leave it loose for more flexability. II highly recommend these! #sweepstakes

New Favorite Pick

Overall:I wanted to try somthing new and I really like Dunlop picks, espessialy jazz 3, but those picks sound very ice picky with single coils. These flow picks are the same as normal tortex picks, just with a sharp end and a smidge smaller. They have the snappy sound I like without it trying to take off the string like jazz three picks (I still love Jazz 3's) I found them to be very versatile with genres. Definitely good for blues, jazz, and funk aswell as heavy metal and rock. Try these picks out, there a little smaller than Tortex but thats the one of the reasons I love them.

Nice Picks

You can pick your friends. You can pick your guitar. You can pick your friend's guitar.I like these picks- they are a little smoother than some- flexible and orange. Which I like.

Nice picks

1st time using the Flow picks and I've got to say that I'm a fan. Always loved the feel and sound of the Dunlop Tortex so I figured I would give these a shot to see if I would like them. I now plan on trying out some other gauges when it's time to get more. If you're not a big fan of the Jazz line like myself then give these a try and see what you think. They are a nice size and great feeling in the fingers, offer better precision than a standard pick with the pointier tip but flow better than a Jazz IMHO. I use nothing but Dunlop picks. They hold up great sound even better and they have a slew of options to choose from to suit anyone's needs, are nicely priced and made in the USA.

Would. . . PICK. . . again!

Eh? Eh?! Just kidding. They're picks. They're fine. I like them. But I'm not picky.
