Dunlop Flow Jumbo Grip 4.20mm Guitar Picks

Literally the best pic for virtuoso playing I played the same pic like many others the Dunlop purple 3 mm but they always kept sliding off as I was playing faster because of the sweat in my fingers but this one is slightly thicker which feels ergonomically better but best of all what shines is the embedded grip design that you have to feel to understand you can literally hold this pic so light in your fingers with the added thickness and that grip from the pic design it will not fall out because we all know you cannot grip the pic hard during Yngwie Malmsteen runs or Michelangelo licks keeping the pick in your hand light and secure and the beveled point on the pic slides so nicely it was amazing playing for the first time I want to buy a thousand of these to keep LOL

Very nice material. Great feel in my hand. Nice sharp point that holds it's shape after use and is slick on the strings so you can play fast easily. Best pick I own now.

I'd like to give a description for those who felt as I did before trying these.Prior to giving these a shot (out of curiousity) the thickest picks in my stable were 1.1mm D'addario black ice, and my favorite picks were the smaller 0.8mm from the same brand.My thinking was: how could a 4.2mm pick be good in any way? Well, it's all about the edge bevel they put on it. That bevel has the precision of a smaller pick, but it also provides a sort of energy to your picking hand such that it assists in "bouncing" to the next note. It's hard to describe - but it has a very different feel from what I anticipated.Pros:- material is very hard and feels durable. I have a LOT of picks that are worn down to an oblong circle shape, this is a lot harder- how they change your playing as described poorly above. This is the biggest delight and I encourage anyone to give them a shot based on this- texture provides adequate grip, no complaints- (listed as both a con and a pro depending on your perspective): sound with these is a bit brighter, with more clarityCons / gripes:- they could have made this a triangle pick in a similar size pretty easily.- (listed as both a con and a pro depending on your perspective): sound with these is a bit brighter, with more clarity- It's a pretty expensive piece of plastic really

Disclaimer: I'm using this to play bass. Produces a noticeably softer sound than a normal pick, on account of being so thick. It looks pointy in profile, but it's pretty rounded on the actual edge. The string sorta just rolls off of the pick instead of getting plucked super hard. Pretty cool feel for bass, but I don't know if it would be any good at all on guitar because did I mention it's super thick??

Best picks ever!!!

I’ve been playing guitar for 19 years. This has got to be the most comfortable pick I’ve ever used. I always relied on the smaller yellow tortex picks for most of those years, but recently I decided to try a thicker pick and all I can say is WOW. I don’t even need to try, my thumb and first finger just naturally rest on the grip and keep it stable with almost zero effort. If you like a chunkier and rounded sound, definitely would suggest these. Works especially well for speed, and pinches have never been so easy.I never review anything but this pick deserves high praise.

This pick is great for anyone with death grip syndrome with normal picks. I can still shred fast 200 BPM 16th note lines, but it subconsciously makes me loosen my pick grip.Great for practice, wouldn't perform or record with it though.

I really love these new JD FLOW 420 picks!I found one of these on the NAMM 2019 BOSS booth showroom floor after Andy James played and dropped one.At first I thought it was thick and clunky but it became my go to pick and I really love to use it for single note scales and rhythm chugging.It's a fatty pick so it definitely is not for the heavy handed or for aggressive punk strumming unless using higher gauge strings and lighter strum technique.I tried the Flow 2.0 first and it just didn't have the same contour so I provided a picture of both side by side.(LEFT - FLOW 2.0, RIGHT - FLOW 4.20)The FLOW 4.20 Jumbo Grip provides a real nice thickness, a textured grip to hold the pick and the contour makes it great for scales and picking articulation for runs and artificial pinch harmonics etc. Reminds me of the old 90's Stylus training picks but more modern.A year later at 2020 NAMM I spoke with Andy James and told him my story about finding the pick and really digging it, he mentioned that he and John Petrucci helped design the pick together for JD =).Only CON is they're expensive so don't lose them!!
