John Petrucci Flow® 2.0 mm Pick

- Developed in collaboration with legendary shredmeister John Petrucci, this pick is designed to complement his huge sound and the intricate passages he's famous for playing. It projects volume and depth thanks to Ultex®, and its uniform bevel allows John to move from string to string with ease.

Finally, a petrucci signature i can afford
😂😂😂😂 IKR? Though to be honest, John's Sterling by MusicMan guitars cost between $500 and $900; reasonable prices for most players.
Ify pal
Omfg your awesome.
Just want to share my story about these fantastic picks. I started playing guitar earlier this week and was really struggling to play Smoke on the Water. Well, I just tried these picks today and now I can play Dance of Eternity backwards at 300 BPM! Thanks Dunlop!
Lmao, noice
You must’ve found the pick of destiny
Lmao of eternity!
Highly unlikely. However, since I don't have proof of you not doing it I'm going to have to give it to you!
you just started playing guitar and now you can play a song backwards???? I've played for two weeks now, and all I can do are a few guitar riffs and guitar solos because plucking is easy for me, and I still have a hard time properly barring the strings when doing a chord like F, and I still have to learn how to play power chords properly.
HOW???????????????
It's not just a piece of plastic ... it's divine intervention ...
and perhaps dildo insertion? i apologize for that..
how poetically correct of you ..
Are you Kevin Moores brother?
"My friend Andy James...." Of course they're friends...
I think John is friends with *all* the shred guys... except me of course. Because I'm not famous yet 😂
I accidentally found it in a music store, while searching for alternate picks. I’m neither a Dream Theater nor a Petrucci fan, but it’s my current favorite pick!
I got these for Christmas, and now use them in all my videos. They glide off the string and have a bite at the same time. Speed picking, funk picking, you name it - this pick does it like no other!
I just got a 3 pack of these to try them. My favorite picks so far and my Dunlop Delrin 2.0mm I've used for years are resting for now. These really do everything John said. I've always struggled with alternate picking and these have helped a lot.
My arms grew back after using these picks. Highly recommended.
These are cool picks ... I can testify. I love em' and my Zenfire picks too.
I love John Petrucci 1.5mm pick tones. The best ever!!
FROM WHENCE YOU CAME YOU SHALL REMAIN UNTIL YOU ARE COMPLETE AGAINNNNNNNNNN!!
I love this pick I have the John petrucci jazz iii and I love that pick too.
Super cool great grip great sound pick no doubt !
I can confirm these picks are amazing.
I freaking LOVE this pick, but I'd really LOVE that the white version would be released for sale! It would perfectly fit any guitar with white pickups!
Damn you Andy James! Andy gave me one of his signature picks at NAMM recently and I too have been converted. I've been playing with that one pick for a couple of months now. I hope I can get some more before I finally lose it.
I never thought I would be able to afford a John Petrucci, until now....
t h i c c p i c c
can it withstand the temperature of the sun?
Depends, can you play a billion notes per second and do you have a diet consisting of small mammals?
It withstands John Petrucci so I guess the sun is no match for this pick
If it can handle John Petrucci it can handle anything
After trying different materials, I must say stone picks are the best.
Nice, give me such a plectrum and I can play like JP, great man.
When he said Oh my God he was referring to himself.
stfu blind fanboy
@@johnvincent1823 its a joke idiot
Got this Flow(feels amazing),jazz 3 nyc and the petrucci jazz3 black or whatever its called. Ordering the Trinity soon!
As a big fan of his previous 2, i can't wait to try these 😌
You won't be disappointed, the JP Flow is - in my opinion - better than John's other picks.
you could hand him a random rock you've found on the sidewalk and he would still shred with and make it sound great lol
Anyone else really wish they would release all those cool colors that John has in this video? Would love a white one, or transparent amber.
I saw this video the day it came out (March 26, 2018) and I found one of John's Flow picks on the floor of my local Guitar Center later that day. Was that fate? Coincidence? Something else? Who knows! All I know is I'm glad I found that pick; still use it over four years later.
Was just about to try a set of Winspears but may try these first considering they’ll be way cheaper. I love the old JP jazz and my go-to is still the Ultex jazz 2.0 so i’d love to give these a spin
"Ridiculous." - Pohn Jetrucci, 2018
Thick pick. Something I started using YEARS ago...JP comes along and decides to do it, instant revelation for the guitar community! LOL
CZcams is creating a lot of that lately. I also find a lot of the so called experts on CZcams will come across an idea, whether it's a pick, or a way to set your delay, and magically it's a brand new amazing discovery, even if the idea has been around for a long time, and for most of us, just basic guitar knowledge. I've found CZcams is mostly aimed at new/amateur players who are still in full discovery mode, buying up everything that they think may make them a better player. That goes for the majority of the CZcams content creators too. It's crazy good marketing. All the $ is made there. Those of us that have discovered what works generally stop constantly searching for the new magic pedal and focus more on proper practice, trying to make the next hour of playing as effective as possible. I also find that great educators for guitar are few and far between on CZcams. Though there are some amazing lessons on here, if you take the time to search for them. Sadly, time away from playing and practicing. For any of you new players out there. I strongly recommend buying and playing lots of picks. It's amazing how many times can be created with just changing the pick. You may even play a little differently, which creates new inspiration. And compared to pedals and software plugins, picks are far less expensive, from 50cents to $30. It's an inexpensive way to tone chase, and fun to research what your heros use, and may help you see why they play like they do. Good luck
I'm definitely going to stay with my AAL Primetone picks.
Records Listener if only they did it in a 1.38 size like the standard ultex jazz III
I get a very sweet tone to my single notes super clean and fast with the thicker picks with the rounded edges. But I use a really thin one for tracking rhythms
JP is the man! \m/
He must have been at "Django a GoGo" at Carnegie Hall in March 2017, which was a freaking amazing show. Glad to see amazing gypsy guitarisrs like Stephane Wrembel and Stochelo Rosenberg have an influence on JP.
yes django style gypsy jazz is incredible
Stephan is a great guy. I took lessons with him for a bit in 02, until I humbly realized I was out of my element.
Didn't John just have a new signature pick come out a year back, or so?
He has a new signature guitar like every week or so.
JP the apple of the guitar accessory world !
He has two sig picks already, a regular one and a primetone. Both of which are awesome. JP is the ultimate gear geek, so he's always tweaking stuff. I'm waiting for his signature strings, I think that's the only thing left for him!
How does this new Flow pick differ to his ones with the raised JP? I just got them and they are the goods!!
They are made from Ultex, which is a more modern/more durable material. and they are 2.0mm I think the Primetone and Raised shield ones are in the 1.44mm range. My Flow picks should arrive today so I'll let you know how they perform.
Glad people are coming around to thicker picks. I use a 6mm
Cloneorder66
Same here. I alternate between a 6mm and 2.5mm. Thin picks are unplayable for me.
Yeah, 2 mm is way too thin. Also too small for stability imo.
I use 5 mile picks
Wow, that's wider than I can grab..... half a mile is plenty!
I use 3mm small stubby and feels perfect for everything and i was always wondering why shredders dont use it.
I don't think anything's gonna get me to switch from the max grip jazz III's but I'm always excited to try out a new Petrucci pick, the old Petrucci picks never did it for me, if I angled my finger wrong when playing they'd fly out of my hand.
Edit: Out of curiosity I went and tried one of the old Petrucci picks (the black JP shield ones) and played some of the cleanest leads I've ever played, maybe my picking technique's improved and they won't fly out of my hand, who knows.
I wonder how it compares to the prime tone picks...those have been my go-to for awhile because they last for weeks, even months. Me personally that’s what I want in a pick, something that lasts. I hope to try this new one out soon though! It looks great, size wise and thickness wise too.
well hell, I just bought a boat-load of his last sig pick. I'm afraid to try these as I will probably like them better.
I play with the same picks 🤘🎸
I play with jazz III JP. I wonder if I would change. I found myself in that pick.
Amen!
Maycon Douglas Santos Barros I find that bigger picks are better for soloing and I use the jazz III JP’s for rhythm
Maycon Douglas Santos Barros I used to use jazz III minis all the time but I now play with much larger picks
I find the best movement from ultex, the best grip from perspex with holes, the best tone from rose wood in a shaped pick.
Best pick in history!!
actually, this pick really works .. from transitioning in using JP Dunlop Jazz III into Dunlop Flow Pick .. i can notice lots of improvement between my shredding , notes-articulation and overall sound of my playing ... this is not a joke or commercial scheme..
This pick is really good. The shape is near to perfection. Maybe I'll make one from agate or opal for more mass and put a little bit more size on it and see what comes out
I hope they bring out the other colors at some point.
When do the flow picks hit the market?
"Under a glass moon" was recorded using a 6 Ct. diamond piece, obviously
It's great that John and Andy James are probably very close. Not allowing competitiveness to get in the way.
Ears14U Well they’re with the same company, so they all benefit...
And it's literally the same product, so how would it ever be competitive?
Lol
Holy shit he's cool
I will be surprised if it will outdo Blue Chip picks. I discovered the 1.5mm T5 to be best for me ... but yeah ... pick choice is subjective. Perhaps I’ll try Petrucci’s suggestion some day.
I use the 208's, more people need to use those picks
I love this pic! I've been using it for a while now. The only thing I didn't liked about it is that, the Majesty logo and his signature wears off with the use. /:
have you tried to play without the point just using one of the sides ???? got so used to it that I cannot use the pointy side anymore dunlop jelly serie the yellow ones XH are great but when you drop them on the carpet they vanish looks like they don't want you to find them camo picks LOL thanks for sharing :)
1:20 What a hell....OMG lol....best pick I ever used.
how come it's only available in one color (red) for us?
When will JP sig toothpick by Dunlop be available for the public? Summer NAMM?
Sort of reminds me of 'Blue Chip Picks' 'BC Jazz Model'. A great pick but 30 bucks a piece. Kind of like the Red Bear pick idea. Thicker picks sound warmer with a softer attack. I always thought Andy James had terrible tone though, very shrill and harsh.
I've never played any of John's previous models, but I'm a diehard Jazz III fan. How does it compare? Looks similar yet... different.
i'd say his older 1.38s are probably a better fit, these may be a little thick
the older petrucci signatures are basically just slightly larger jazz iii's with a slightly better grip. the size is midway between the jazz iii and jazz xl's. i like 'em.
The Petrucci version of a Jazz III is a little bigger, but not much, and I feel like it glides off the strings better/more easily than a regular Jazz III, and being a bit bigger it was more comfortable for me, personally.
the dunlop 205 jazztones are what i use. extremely similar to his new pick. the jazztones have been around a long time
If this pick is too fluid, it's really easy to sand down and make sharper. The grip was awesome but it's just do fluid it couldn't grip the string as my a as I liked and didn't have enough of a sharp attack. It was also pretty decent to pick leads fast, but was way too buttery for rhythm.
Donde puedo conseguir los pick's en color blanco?
Already used a 1.0 mm plectra was very hard to play with I cannot imagine a 2.0 mm what it does !!!
I once used 3 mm picks, now I use 1.5 John Petrucci Jazz III Picks
Awesome but john's best work and tones are mostly in his days without all those signature gears 😂
I like the dunlop ultex Jazz III JP more. It's not huge difference but it feels "sharper"
Ill try it but I'm so used to the red jazz iii
I play with thick pieces of broken floor tile! YES!!!
when available in italy?
Takes some treble off compared to Tortex in my experience. Glides also chirps so far for me.
O melhor da propaganda é a espinha no Narego do Petrolla kkkkkkkkkk
When will the Jim Root picks be available?
Preston Singer April I think
lol
Where the crap can i get the white ones at?
Where can I get the white one?!
I think they are very comfortable but for me, they make a horrible scratching sound on the high strings. Just FYI. Trinity picks make significantly less noise on high strings.
Ok, but is impossible to find it in the market. Why?
Started with 208s 23 years ago, went to 1.5mm Sharps, down to J3 tortex 1.14 and now you want m etc go back up??? WTF..... But yeah, those 208 glide....
Did he just say he's into gear?
On damn, so I have to buy another pick - even if I have tooo many dunlop picks. Doesn't matter: I love new dunlop picks -> take my money!
That thick
I have a question, do these picks ever get rounded at the edge?
Yes they do wear of slightly.
Yoi imma buy this NOW
Nah mate, not available until april...
John's right,it flows off the strings
??? I have had one similar to this for years. It's thick but very light. I kinda hate it for electric.
It’s the pick of destiny
The differences between the AJ and JP are?
thickness.
JP says his pick is smaller than the AJ pick because he's used to the size of Jazz IIIs.
Mario Mandujano The Andy James flow picks are bigger and John Petrucci's are smaller.
Why would buy it when you gonna lose it immediately?
It's basically the pick of destiny.
The goal of every guitarist: Getting their own signature pick
make the flows avaiable in the custom picks orders
I find they work a bit better if I use a nail file and make the point a little sharper.
Though John Petrucci mentioned about gypsy jazz picks, I have to say the thicker picks at 0:37 is extremely hard to play on gypsy guitars
I'd rather spend 20 times more to buy a Wegen
😍😍😍
Can't afford it :(
Ok. I buy 1 pack.
Damn I want those white ones!
Already available for purchase?
I bought a set (3) at the G3 concert last month. Has a small metal box included. Thinner than my usual Wegen (2.5mm), sharper edges. Very crisp sound.
Really thought they were just a fun souvenir, not an advance sale!
Not right now they're not
Dave grohl is called the nicest guy in rock...
So I dub Mr Petrucci the nicest guy in metal!
Sounds like a Apple's Jonathan Ive Advert
Guitar Jesus
when are the jared james Nichols sig picks coming out.!! Lol \m/
I bought one, expensive af but the holofoil sticker peeled off of both sides in a week, not worth it for a piece of plastic, a big stubby nylon or V Pick Traditional are pretty similar in sound and feel
