@Wallimann No, not at all, i know about a lot o people who would like a pick with this thickness (including myself). And the opinions about the material.... The relief for those with pain in the picking hand (rumor though).
I bought this pick and all I can say is its an overpriced gimic that delivers nothing of value. It's just another of those "promise to make you better" tools that never delivers, how many virtuosos have you seen using these?
Nice, here where i live, when boys starts to play guitar. we used half of a phone card. It's like a credit card but harder, it really works. Push harder with the card, play freely with the pick
When he says "improve your alternate picking technique", all he means is "play faster". This video is therefore unmusical rubbish. Maybe forgive-able in a 12 year old novice player but that's it. Why on earth do so many guitarists feel they have to play the same riff/run/scale over and over again as quickly as possible? It has nothing to do with music. It makes one embarrassed to be a guitarist.
@clangerlover That's probably because in order to play fast "well" then you must develop a good technique. But I agree that playing just to burn scales at 2000bpm is pointless, however I think a good development of speed is hugely important. I believe that feeling is important but I hate it when people use it as an excuse for not developing a good technique, you need to be efficent in both.
@6EELZE6U6666 Ahh....well good technique does not need to equate to playing fast at all, particularly with a pick. "Good technique" is a mechanism for allowing ones musicality to show through, it should not hamper or be detrimental to musicality. And "limitation" can often be an advantage in any Art form. Look at Wes Montgomery, Jeff Back, Django of course. Cheers.
@clangerlover fair point, but what I mean is for somebody to play fast but also articulate and clean takes great skill. I'm not talking about guys that shred scales 24/7 just to reach ridiculous speeds (but still no idea how to use it). Perhaps looking into Troy Stetina and his mechanics of fast playing would sway your opinion slightly of speed. He really goes into great detail of what is truely required to play with speed but also maintain the good stuff :) but I do agree with you
Yepp, I discovered it by myself - 3 vertices pick.
Make them from old vinyl record platesm it just never slips off the fingers cause of the tiny line scratches and it is pretty hard to bang the strings as you like
This is a fucking ridiculous marketing ploy. It just makes it harder to play for a week so when you go back you feel like fucking malmsteen. Just for this im never going to use any V-picks.
... I tried playing constantly with my huge prick for a week, but my technique didn't improve at all - got a few hand injuries though ... 30$ for a pick? No wonder it's called the insanity pick...
It's just a matter of creating an obstruction for a week. If you play a K-Mart guitar for a week, then pick up a les paul, you will definatly feel some relief.
I bought a couple of the small pointed V-picks and noticed an immediate difference.
They're much smoother and more toneful than the jazz 3's I've been using.And they don't seem to be wearing out at all(so far).So I'm convinced enough that I ordered a pearly gates,a pg med pointed,pg acoustic,Dimension jr.buffed and unbuffed,as well as a Psycho.I honestly couldn't hear a difference in your demo,but I love the feel and tone of these picks.And there IS a difference compared to other brands.
hay man you dont gota pay no thirty dollars, the secret is that its a placebo pick meant to make you play more and subconsciously learn how to feel the strings. just use a sae shell or a rock or a freekin little syrup pourer from ihop
This is interesting because I've been bumping my pick size over the last few months up to 1.5mm. And when I went back to my medium Dunlops I stopped maybe a year ago, they felt so easier to play with. The thing I don't like though is that light picks are too fragile. The heavy ones have good, round tones.
I know youve been asked this before, but what normal pick do you use? (i dont really feel like searching through all the comments to see if anyone asked you before me lol
It is nothing new , ive been making this type of pick for many years , very easy to make , however this type of pick is no good for struming and you will break more strings
@Beck10g It personally helped me and I didn't practice more than any other weeks during that experiment.That being said, I know that this might not be for anyone. :-D
Uhh, I've seen picks like this for like 1/10th the price. I even own one. Simple truth: A pick isn't going to "drastically increase" your picking ability. IT'S A PICK.
ok so i bought some v-picks, i got the screamer, the snake and the medium pointy. I went in hoping for these to be everything they are hyped up to be. my honest opinion, they are not. don't get me wrong they are good but the only difference really is the bevelled edge which makes the pick glide easier, I liked it at 1st but now I hate it. I have to say also that I can't hold onto these things they are sooo slippery, I have a naturally sweaty grip and these things are a nightmare. its just a fad
Thanks David, hope all is well, since the GMC days. Curiously, I alternate between some V-Picks and my person flat pick of choice. I have felt that spending some time with the V-picks forces me into better technique. I don't know that I will ever use them exclusively, time will tell. I have been using a Screamer or Med pointed, but I think I will try the diamond or pointed diamond now, which are thick, for the reasons you explain here. I subscribed.
so i just left the v picks website, i ordered 1 insanity, 1 stiletto, 1 switchblade, 1 medium lite pointed, and 1 small lite pointed...never before have i spent 50 dollars on picks, nor have i been this excited about picks! i cant wait for them to come in! :D
i dont think its really improved ur speed or cleanliness. i think the only positive aspect, is the feeling of comfort when going back to the normal sized pic. sure it feels good, but doesnt necessarily mean u'v improved. in speed or leanliness. u could maybe convince me otherwise, butt, i dunoooo
I'm guessing you handicap yourself with the big pick, that you have to get better to use it, so when u head back to the smaller easier pick, it should be much easier.
Insanity is paying more than the equivalent of $1.00USD for a damn guitar pick. This "super pick" nonsense has been going on since I was a kid. Here are some of the picks that the pros use/used when their picking was in top form:
Paul GIlbert- (sharpened) Dunlop Delrin 1.14mm
Yngwie Malmsteen- Fender extra-heavy then Dunlop Delrin 1.5mm
Jason Becker- Dunlop Delrin 1.5mm
Vinnie Moore- Fender extra-heavy
Al DiMeola, Eric Johnson (and dozens of others) - Dunlop Jazz III
it's easier, lol. probably because you been playing the same riff for a week straight.you're no paul gilbert, but I still love your own style of playing...all is good with both of yous.
@shnakle1 he says he needs about an hour to get used to the old picks... but he said he can feel that its easier to play it... so after an hour, youll probably hear a difference.
I can hear the pick from right hand, it's not smooth. It is a great pratice thing, but the lighter picks are more sweet for listen. Well i think...They have diferent aplications.
@levizinhorodrigues I bought a medium pointed, I received yesterday and wow man, you technique really does improve. Is like you don't have to work hard to hit the notes, they jump out at ease and pinch harmonics are piece of cake. They arent that great for rhythm but when it comes to technique and tone they are seriously the best.
£22 in england!!.the rate at which i lose jaz III s at is ridiculous, basicaly its a £22 pound coin for me to lose, why not super glue 4 picks together??????
Trust me guys I've been playing for years and have tried every size, gauge, shape and colour of pick to 'improve' my technique. Conclusion: I wish I found any pick and stuck with it!
Funny I just found this video, just went though a picking crisis.For years been playing with green dunlap .88. thought I,d try the jazz picks ,big and small ,than I tried some ( the drum roll please) herco .50 .I love em,I can actually play better with the thinner pick .With the flex I keep a better rythym .I used to hate thin picks. go figure
I superglued 2 or 3 quarters together. The weight and thickness will increase the need for accuracy and finger/wrist strength. Then go back to your old pick. And it only costs 50 or 75 cents.
Skeptical Jeff sez: What if you had simply used your regular pick for a week and practiced that same lick for hours on end using a metronome? Don't you think you would have had the same amount of success? Maybe you increased your speed by 5-10 bpm or so? I'm not knocking the pick...and your playing is very clean. But it's not like you sucked to start with, you know? :)
@jcshirke Honestly, I didn't play more than any regular week with this. I don't think it would do anything for beginners for sure, but it did work for me. Don't take me wrong, I'm not talking miracles, but I found it to clean up my technique a bit.
But what about the heavy distortion? How does it sound?

Funny I just found this video, just went though a picking crisis.For years been playing with green dunlap .88. thought I,d try the jazz picks ,big and small ,than I tried some ( the drum roll please) herco .50 .I love em,I can actually play better with the thinner pick .With the flex I keep a better rythym .I used to hate thin picks. go figure

Hello, nice video. So the model was just to use big chunk and later to come back to lighter one?

@godlikecharacta Maybe the pickups are too close to the strings?

@SGTkobiba Does this problem happen when you are sitting down?
Maybe try to bring your guitar higher with your strap?

@Soulfulshreddify I use the V-Pick small pointed picks. They are kind of like Jazz 3s. I really like them.

I superglued 2 or 3 quarters together. The weight and thickness will increase the need for accuracy and finger/wrist strength. Then go back to your old pick. And it only costs 50 or 75 cents.

Skeptical Jeff sez: What if you had simply used your regular pick for a week and practiced that same lick for hours on end using a metronome? Don't you think you would have had the same amount of success? Maybe you increased your speed by 5-10 bpm or so? I'm not knocking the pick...and your playing is very clean. But it's not like you sucked to start with, you know? :)

@jcshirke Honestly, I didn't play more than any regular week with this. I don't think it would do anything for beginners for sure, but it did work for me. Don't take me wrong, I'm not talking miracles, but I found it to clean up my technique a bit.
Thanks a lot for the nice words! :-)

I saw on their website that this pick cost 35 dollars, is that per pick? or is that a package?
I think 35 dollars for a single pick is too much, even if it improves your Technique!

@guysapire It's per pick.. It is an expensive pick, I agree!

Thicker pick = less flapping = more direct vibration transfer to the strings
