Jeff Loomis uses these picks, and after catching one of his at a show, decided to give it a try. I normally use 2mm gator grip picks, so the feel of the sharps was really challenging to get used to, but I was surprised by the distinct change in tone! The sharps have a much sharper attack, and after going back and forth between the picks, the gator grips just sounded too dull for the metal tones I go for. I'm finally used to the sharps, and now I can't go back to anything else. Because the tone comes from the small, sharp contact area of the point, you will wear it out faster than a thicker/broader pick, so accept that it's a consumable item if you want to maintain the tone.

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 ...

I would never use these on guitar. Guitar strings are too close together to make it work. But if you play bass, especially a P Bass. You will love these. I recommend trying out all of the different gauges to see what you like best. It gives that classic meaty picked bass tone featured in many classic recordings.

The feel and texture of the pick just felt nice to hold and the grip felt amazing. Rarely falls out my fingers when playing solos, or just in general when you're playing hard. all the picks feel the same it's not just on pick. Do . recommend this to a friend? Heck yes!
The heavy tortex is a great deal and durable, if you don't lose picks constantly, like I do! It plays well, and the surface feels good. It's easy to grip, and easy on your wallet when you lose 3 in one show.I've been playing jamband music with Blue and Green tortex for 2 decades, and there's just no reason to change. You get the sounds you make, and learning to play with a heavier pick helps develop speed and competent aim. Flimsier picks break on me, but the tortex never has. Not once, not even the lighter guages.
For the longest time, I used nothing but the black "Stiffo" nylon Jazz IIIs. I liked the small size and sharp tip, but I especially liked the minimal pick attack it added to the sound (I always preferred a clearer tone, even though I mostly play metal). I get curious about other Jazz III picks though, so over time I've tried the Ultex (sounds way too clicky/chirpy), JD JazzTone 205 (great sound/feel but low durability), PrimeTone (not as nice as JazzTone and still low durability). Again, these are my thoughts on these picks for playing with distortion - for cleaner stuff, it obviously changes.These Pitch Black Tortex Jazz picks have taken over as my usual pick for metal now. Compared to the black stiffo, this one seems to strike strings with more authority, likely ... MoreFor the longest time, I used nothing but the black "Stiffo" nylon Jazz IIIs.

Again, these are my thoughts on these picks for playing with distortion - for cleaner stuff, it obviously changes.These Pitch Black Tortex Jazz picks have taken over as my usual pick for metal now. Compared to the black stiffo, this one seems to strike strings with more authority, likely because it is a tad stiffer (i'm using the 1mm). The pick attack is more aggressive - it tends to have a scratchier sound due to the material, but with a little practice in picking angles this can be controlled, and it sounds great for metal. There is a tiny bit of that chirpiness that turned me away from the Ultex Jazz IIIs, but in this case it's character-adding rather than an earsore. The playing feel takes a bit of getting used to if you're coming from the nylon ones, as the release isn't quite as instantaneous (because the material doesn't glide off the strings as easily, I think), but it isn't too different. Durability seems to be on par with the black nylons.Highly recommended if you're a fan of the nylon Jazz IIIs and like to play aggressive stuff.
Who amongst us cannot say that they have often stared at their right hand lamenting the existing of their floppy, fleshy fingers? "If only!" I would cry into the night. "If only my useless digits could be replaced some how with a single tiny plastic bit. Then I would vanquish my enemies mightily and hastily!"Imagine, then, the unbridled joy swelling within me as I discovered my, and I don't just throw this word around, FRIENDS at musicians friend had exactly the weapons I needed to unleash the symphonic doom that had hitherto resided solely in my too-many-fingered mind. I now slash and shred about unencumbered by the feckless phalanges I was forced to use before. Rejoice, peasants!
I have been using Tortex picks since the early 90's and have never found anything that works nearly as well. Tortex mixes high build quality with just the right amount of snap while feeling really good in your hand.Before I found Dunlop Tortex picks I went through many produced by big names that just didn't cut it. At the time I didn't realize how important a quality pick is to producing a good tone or how much easier it makes playing guitar overall. I had problems with lack of stiffness, loss of grip, strange shape or thickness and sometimes I was just literally tearing picks in half one after another during shows. Once I tried Tortex picks all of those problems disappeared!The shape is perfect, with both the sharp and rounded edges having their uses. The feel is ...

I had problems with lack of stiffness, loss of grip, strange shape or thickness and sometimes I was just literally tearing picks in half one after another during shows. Once I tried Tortex picks all of those problems disappeared!The shape is perfect, with both the sharp and rounded edges having their uses. The feel is great, with a soft mat finish that seems to grip your fingers so I very rarely drop a pick. I have NEVER had one rip, sometimes using a pick until the sharp end is worn to a nub. The material itself has just the right amount of 'snap' to it that just seems to liven up my playing. Even the very thin Tortex picks snap back and hold their shape while other brand picks the same thickness don't snap back as well, sometimes warp, and can both fold and rip too easily.I am also particularly fond of the color coded thickness system that makes it easy to switch between picks for different instruments and songs by sight alone even on a dark stage. I highly recommend that a first time user get a sampler of different colors or go to a local shop to test them all before settling on one. I personally fell in love with green as my workhorse pick but will sometimes switch to a blue or purple for metal or when I need a little more stiffness. For acoustic I use something along the lines of a yellow to give that string slap sound that sounds good for open chording.I can not recommend these enough. They are the perfect blend of everything that you need in a high quality pick and can make playing more enjoyable.
The longer you play, the quicker your style gets, and at some point, the flimsy, thin picks start breaking and wearing quickly. I love the blue hard picks. They're cheap, so you can buy a pack and literally throw them out onto the floor in your practice space, so there's always one to pick up within spitting distance.Good durability. I've lost a hundred of these, but never had one break on me. They are pliable, durable, and cost-effective. They don't make any more noise than you would expect out of a stiff pick, and they have a nice soft, but sandy grip to them.Highly recommend. Buy them quite often. They make one grade harder I think... green? Play hard and you'll need these.
These are by far my favorite picks I've ever used, they're great for shredding and help me hit notes more accurately than other picks. They're also amazing for heavy downpicking and I'm able to hit a really snappy aggressive sound on my notes that other picks don't get. They really make a difference.#sweepstakes

Dunlop Tortex Triangle Guitar Picks 6 Pack .73mm
First released in 1981, Tortex Picks were originally intended to be a high quality replacement for tortoiseshell. Jim Dunlop’s trail-blazing creation became so much more than that, however, establishing its own identity and becoming the new standard by which all other picks are judged. Building on the precision, consistency, and color-coded gauge system he introduced with Nylon Picks, Jim resolved to create a pick with a bright and snappy attack, superior memory and durability, and an improved grip. He chose Delrin as his base material and then spent more than a year developing a special treatment process to draw out its full potential. This treatment process is what sets Tortex Picks apart from all others, providing their unique grip-enhancing matte surface and aggressive attack. Finally, Jim expanded on his previous picks’ color-coded gauge system to create the bright and timeless palette that has become an industry standard. Because Dunlop stick to Jim’s original formula, Tortex Picks remain their bestselling pick line. And Dunlop still make them at the Dunlop HQ in Benicia, California.
