D'Addario Black Ice Guitar Picks

Those are currently my favorite picks. Slightly larger than Dunlop Jazz III, about the size of JP Jazz III model, but shaped more like regular Jazz III. Very smooth and nice to touch, yet they don't slip at least in my hands. Not as bright as JP Jazz III. They are affordable and last long too. Currently using the 1.5mm version. May also try 1.1mm.

In a world of colourful picks, I love how these are just black in colour. The matt finish does not become too slippery with my slightly sweaty fingers, especially in air conditioned settings! I would give them more stars but the printed (or lasered) white text seems to fade off and the black surface starts to turn whiteish. Perhaps the discolouration is due to prolonged storage with the packaging having holes in them (as compared to Dunlop's sealed packaging).

What's not to like about these picks? The size is just right for a nice, firm grip. Thickness i perfect for expressive, articulate playing style. Durability is top-notch.

Perfect pick. It improved my speed picking a ton. Super happy I finally found my pick of choice.

Great size & great material. Long lasting, feels tight like a big jazz pick, & big enough to relieve your 1st finger from a good punk song!

I've been playing with these picks for about a year via a recommendation from Tosin Abasi of Animals as Leaders (if you don't know them you're seriously missing out BIGTIME!) I usually play the heavy version of the pick but decided to order the extra heavy this time....holy crap...just do it dude...c'mon. 3 bucks could change your life. i swear the extra heavy version of this pick has made me a more precise picker in less than an hour!! Steve Vai kinda stuff. just grab that appropriate picking angle and KABOOM!! you'll be soaring like a flock of beautiful golden eagles that are also wizards.

Quiet, smooth and great shape. I have played with everything (wood, metal, carbon, etc...) These can be used for strumming and playing really aggressive and fast. Finally a pick that does it all.

i dont love them but at the same time I don't hate them. Granted I'm not much of a jazz pick person as the only ones I liked so far were the john petrucci ones but I like the thickness of them. If you want something that doesn't flap or click when you pick hard and is smooth these are for you.

I usually play picks bigger than this (Dunlop Tortex .88 being my favourite), and I often shy away from smaller picks like the Jazz III. This pick, however, works really well for me! The surface feels "dry", making for a good grip when holding the pick. NOTE: I say "dry" as opposed to the Jazz III, which has sort of a "smooth" surface. This pick also sounds really great, providing a lot of attack when picking the strings, useful for example in a metal context. I really wish they would make a bigger version, however, to expand the selection and appeal to a bigger market!
