Interesting Tcha Limberger interview
The part when he said he doesn't like the sound when people play with Dunlop picks was interesting... -
Pick "grittiness"
I have hesitated to post about this issue because I generally don't like to complain & I suspect it's just something that we have to deal with, but here goes: I reach a point with most of the picks that I love where they seem, for lack of a better term, gritty. It almost feels like there's a tiny groove in the pick that… -
Dunlop Guitar Pick “Notch”
Hey Everyone! Reading lots of posts here got me to try out the round side of a Dunlop Derlin 500 2.0mm pick, and I love it! This is probably a REALLY dumb question, but if anyone can appreciate obsessing over small details, it’s us 😃. Due to the manufacturing process (injection molding), there is a little notch artifact on… -
Lots of Guitar Picks for Sale
I have collected way too many picks throughout the years. Instead of them just sitting in a drawer somewhere I might as well sell them.

What pick?
I know this is a very personal question, but what pick should i look and try to start getting comfortable with this genre, learning techniques and start getting a signature sound? I have always used a Dunlop Jazz 3, wondering if that would work too with gypsy jazz. All your knowledge and experience is gold! -
Guitarist/Guitar Pick List
Guitar picks seem to play a pretty important role in this style. I figured I would try to compile a list of some guitarists and the guitar pick that they are most often associated with (eg. Bireli with the Dunlop Delrin 500 1.5 MM, Stochelo with the Wegen Big City). I hoping this would be a good resource for those of us… -
Looking for a mellow sounding pick
Hi! It has been a while. Hope everyone is doing fine! Took a long hiatus, and now I decided to dip my toes back into GJ. I am looking for recommendations for a pick that is less or about 2mm, which is mellow sounding and does not produce clicks. I would really like to add some depth to the sound, and most conventional… -
Gipsy picks on round wounded strings
I use flat wounded strings on my archtop, and round wounded on my acoustic guitar. I’ve used lots of different picks in my life: Dunlop Jazztone, Big stubby, Dunlop Delrin 500, Dunlop gator grips, Dunlop primetone… And also I’ve used Wegen, dugain and timber tones picks. The point is that picks on round wounded strings… -
RIP - Jim Dunlop
A little bit tangential, I know, but many will be using Dunlop picks / plectrums for gypsy jazz: https://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/17418307.glasgow-born-guitar-icon-jim-dunlop-dies-aged-82/ -
Using the side of the pick
What's the latest thinking on using the side of the pick (the round part) as opposed to the pointed part? I've heard Bireli played like that, but I dont know for sure. I've been experimenting with it and I like it. It's a bit quieter, with a slightly warmer tone. And I seem to have a little more control, or at least it…
