The title may be funny but it's true. 90% of my guitar practicing is on my picking. I don't have a natural supper speedy picking wrist so I rely on double picking and sweeps to get up to speed. I'm also finicky with my touch. And.. .to make matter's worse I still (after 30+ stage years) I still get nervous and over pick sometimes. The jazz tone 205 rolls of the strings and doesn't get stuck on the string when doing quick detail. it doesn't flex at all but lets you glide over the strings now mater how hard or soft you pick. This pick might not be for every one but if you the don't like a lot of flex and want to get off some mind-blowing speed licks for jazz or jazz fusion, give it a try.

I've been playing for almost 45 years. Since my first interest in fast pick began in the 70's, I’ve perused finding the "perfect pick". I have a sizable collection of all kinds. This pick is the best pick for double and sweep picking if you are fond of that style. The pick "rolls" off the strings providing a nice tactile feel without flexing or getting "stuck" on the string. It all solves the problem of over-picking when the music or volume gets pumped up and start to "dig" loosing control. Some picks may be better for strumming but if you're in to single note playing with or without distortion and like the sound of fast picking and/or arpeggios you nay want to give this a try

All of a sudden my sound is exactly as I've been imagining it should be! The 205 strikes a balance between thickness and contour. With this pick I'm getting a real fat sound but with a beautiful attack that lets each note speak clearly. I play a lot of jazz but am also a huge Trey Anastasio fan, and with the Dunlop 205 my sound is closer to Trey's than ever before. I hear it mostly in the clear attack, which is followed by an immediate blossom of sound. Beautiful! This pick is great for jazz but will cover just about anything that requires fast, clean articulations. I never thought I'd be so stoked about a guitar pick!

I'm think that the Jazz III picks are too flat, and the Stubbys (from my limited experience w/ them) are too round and fat. The JazzTone 205's are the pefect blend of both picks, I won't play without one!
