JIM DUNLOP John Petrucci Flow 2.0mm 3 Pack Guitar Picks (548PJP2.0)

Let's get the bad first, if you are buying this for the logo & signature, for get it, it will rub off very quickly. But what is left behind is a pick that is actually helping me reach speed, and riffs & licks never thought possible. The Size is ideal, It feels secure in my hand. It's going last a long time. It's very articulate and versatile A++

Wow ! Surprised me ! I use now all the time!

I tried these on a whim and it's probably the best thing I did as far as plectrum....for a different reason than one might think....a little background..about 2 years ago I injured my wrist..had to stop playing for about 3 weeks..and even after recovery , my picking hand was never the same...it would cramp up..sometimes during a gig, which was horrifying...I had sharp pains when I angled my pick a certain way..and virtually had to relearn picking..my speed took a hit as did my stamina..it was depressing...I was using a standard heavy flatpick (D'Addario Classic celluloid Heavy)....what I self discovered was that the thinner pick was causing stress to the wrist and fingers simply from the act of holding the pick..especially on faster runs...since you have to flex your wrist/fingers against the bend of the pick as you are striking the string..this is a subtle thing and guitarists get used to it and don't even notice it..until injury and rehab that is...the 2.0mm JP pick allows my wrist to relax..since the thickness requires that the bigger muscles of the forearm engage more so to hold the pick, and support the finer muscles of the hand....as a result my picking hand is more relaxed and I have gained back some of the lost speed..when I am done playin with these, my hand is relaxed..no cramping at all...what a miracle these have been, at for someone in my situation.one thing I did do is dull the point a little...scraped the tip against the carpet a few times. I found the initial point of the tip to produce notes that were too brittle ..even a little harsh sounding..which some people want or like..but using this technique it now gives a warm even tone when you strike the stringsafter only a couple of days..these have become my go to...going to also try the Andy James picks, as they are a little bigger..and hopefully will provide even less stress to the muscles/joints

I have used the John Petrucci black jazz picks for a few years before and fell in love from day one, but when I stumbled across these, I have found be best picks ever made! I’ve been a professional guitarist, and guitar coach for 10 years now and find myself being stingy with these picks lol. When I was taking one on one lessons with my university guitar instructor, I gave him one to see what he said and he said the same thing. Best picks ever! You won’t regret.Perfect thicknessPerfect texturePerfect sizePerfect toneEasy to see when dropped too

I always used the Dunlop Jazz III picks. I prefer the smaller picks and like the thickness and very pronounced point. Unfortunately, the Jazz IIIs never lasted me very long before the point was weathered down and rounded.Then I stumbled upon these and decided to give them a try. They’re thicker and overall slightly larger, but not unmanageable in the least. The beveled edge lets the edge of the pick just roll over the strings, allowing for fast and sweep picking to have a very nice, natural, and smooth feeling. “Flow” is an appropriate name for these picks. After a lot of hard fast picking, the point is still almost just as good as new. If you like Jazz III picks, you’ll probably love these.

Love the thickness

Very fast and comfortable pick. My opinion is torn though, one the one hand, chords under distortion ring out with noticeably more clarity and definition and sound more in control.... however single note runs add too much pick noise ie 'dog's paws across linoleum' gritchiness and a slight loss of body and dynamic range on single note. This is with a Tom Holmes 5600 in the bridge, which is a bit bright admittedly, and compared to the black dunlop 1.0 mm pick I have been using, with amp settings that are moderate distortion, mids are not scooped. I'm sure I could find an application they were suited for, like a darker distorted tone, but that's not what I've been doing. But I really do like what they did with chord definition, a lot.

These are my son‘s favorite picks! He loves the thickness and the longevity of them. He loses track of all his other pics, but he definitely keeps track of these!
