    I had to come back to this video for one reason: this is the best pick comparison I have seen to date. I would like to request several more pick comparisons as this was especially helpful in differentiating each pick's tone. I realize John may not be a Jazz III pick user, but I would love a comparison of various Jazz III materials and manufacturers (Dunlop and Blue Chip in particular). Thank you very much for taking the time and putting in the effort to produce this video.

    By far, the very best pick comparison video available anywhere on googletube. This was very informative. Thanks guys! Now I'm going to visit your website and buy several various picks to try out.........seeing as all of the music stores in my area have such a slim variety to choose from. ( BOO!!! )

    I like teardrops. Bit have been thinking about a tri cornered...
    Inam thinking that I can bevel and polish out a side for whatever situation I want.. like a mandolin or a guitar... or a rosewood guitar vs a mahogany...
    you could change the bevel to a rounder less beveled for the mandolin to take some of the bite out...
    Have a sharper corner for a mahogany guitar to bring up the bass a little and maybe gain a little treble on the higher and mid strings ..
    If it works you could have a sort of utility pick and not jabe to switch picks for every instrument.... its a thought.. of course I would do tuat experiment on the dunlop first 😉

  • @bigbassjonz
    @bigbassjonz Před měsícem

    I think you guys were just a bit generous with the signature pick. I'd put it below the primetone for sure.

    This was hysterical. And I think I’ve tried all of these picks. Someone just sent me the Golden Gate today to try. Jason and Jeremy rated them pretty much the same that I have when I use them. The casein picks ranked the highest. “Give me some q-tips…I feel bad about that one….NEXXXTTTT” lol. Love your content.

    I want a bluechip but I know ill lose it. I recently started playing primetones and have been amazed at just how much better I play and sound with it.

    That's funny that the CC pick rated higher than a manufactured one. Maybe, just maybe, if the CC was shaped a little bit; then, maybe a higher rating? Sometimes, that's all a player has. I've enjoyed the Dunlop, as well as it's price. Great show! Thx 🙂👍

  • @VeloVios
    @VeloVios Před 11 měsíci +1

    I have two bluechips, one for electric and one for acoustic.
    Sure it does sound good, but I use these picks for feel and they feel like glue when picking or when holding to finger pick.
    About the price.. I live in a van and am broke. Yet i have enough money to spend on a pick. Why dont you? Do you people with jobs not go out for dinner and spend $30+ on food that comes out the next morning? A pick doesnt do that, sure even if you lose the pick in one day then its better then the food because you used it more. All im saying is to try different picks until you find one you like, not only the cheap picks that last 2 weeks. These blue chips still look and play like new.
    I recommend to try a casein pick and a vespal bluechip or charmed life pick. Charmed life makes picks in both materials.
    I was using primetone before these, but when i lost them I brought a bluechip and havent lost it yet. I've carried it around almost everyday the past two years too.
    It's pretty simple if you think you dont have money. Just dont buy take away for one or two days and buy a pick instead that will last you many years. If you lose it, then skip take away again and buy another one.. Take away food is what many people get so thats why i say it, im too broke for take away tbh, but i will never be to broke to use a bluechip pick. Well i will be if i dont have any guitars

  • @breakandrun70

    Yes the Blue Chip picks are the best for bluegrass, I have a couple of them. Great video, enjoyed watching
    thank you. Thats all I got.

    If my primetones weren't so slippery in my fingers I'd use them more but sold on my tp48 from blue chip

  • @michaelmullins1290
    @michaelmullins1290 Před 2 lety

    This is exactly why I watch your videos. I guess I'll be having me a prime tone and a case in pick. A friend gave me a Kenny Smith blue chip. It's my daily driver. Lol.

    • @AcousticShoppe
      @AcousticShoppe  Před 2 lety

      You really can't beat a Bluechip, but the Casin and Primetone are great backups!

  • @olliecarson5150

    Really cool. You should try the Taylor Thermex, a bit like D’Andrea Pro Plec.

    Amusing little sketch. The shape, the points the thickness and the material all factor in.
    Used the same guitar, but is a J45 the best guitar for such a mind bending experiment?
    Howabout another rind with large triangle (346) , with normal, not rounded points beveled and a consistent thickness.
    For example : a BlueChip TAD 50 (1.25) a WEGEN (!) TF 120, a Primetone 1.3, and that D'addario Casein 1.4 (if it isn't too bent!) and maybe that I-tone thing($40 ???)
    Or .. maybe I'll do the same thing on my channel, Best, Ol' Andy
