  Wow, I'm amazed at the difference these make! November 28, 2008 I first want to mention that this is a pack of 6 picks. The product description didn't mention that, but I was pleased to receive more than three!
My son told me he needed some new picks, and since lately he's been playing Ozzy Osbourne songs I knew he needed a better pick than the standard Fender picks he's been playing with for three years. After hearing him play with these picks, I've noticed he can play faster and more accurately with these. The finger grips help tremendously and these have really helped to bring his playing to the next level. My only complaint is that they sent us a pack of purple picks. I wish we could choose the color, or maybe they could send a color assortment. We'll be buying these for a long time to come.

I am a beginning guitarist. With that said, I like these picks best of any others that I've tried so far. They're the most comforable in my hand and the most accurate on the strings.
  THE BEST, AND ONLY GUITAR PICKS FOR ME! June 18, 2008 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
When it comes to playing guitar, everything from the wood the guitar is made of, to the pick-ups, to the amp, as well as many other factors determines what kind of tone the notes have. The pick you use is no different; Thin, thick, large, small, picks come in all sizes, shapes, material, and is a part of determining how the note sounds.
The Dunlop 'stubby' 2.0mm is a crucial part of my playing style, and I'm never caught without one in my pocket. I've never been a fan of thin picks becuase they 'give' with the string tension, and large picks are combersome and take up unnesassary space; both can slow your picking hand down. The 2.0mm Stubby is a small, thick pick that is 'scooped out'(see picture, I use the dark purple one)and is sharply angled at the tip. The area that is scooped out is the 'hook' of these picks.
First, when placing your thumb over the pick, you'll notice how comfortably your thumb rests on the pick, and only a small part of the bottom is exposed for the actuall picking of the string, this reduces tension and helps to play faster. In addition, the edge of your thumb can hang out and can be used for additional muting of the string(again when playing fast). Second, because the edge of your thumb is able to hang out, it is SSSSOOOO easy to pull of pinched harmonics!!!
Third, because of the indentation of the pick, I have NEVER dropped one of these picks!! Your thumb is kind of 'locked' into the pick and dropping the pick just doesn't happen with these picks(even with a swetty hand, ewwww.)
And last, but still important, If you're into technical playing, these picks are great for picking a rythem and then suddenly shifting to a 'tapped' pattern. The indentation in the pick allows you to free up your index finger of the picking hand for tapping while the pick sits comfortably between the bottom of the index finger the thumb! This is almost impossible with standard picks because as soon as you free up your index finger the pick will fall out of place:( This technique is great for playing fast rythems that involve shifting into tapped arpeggios, triplets, quadruplets and all kinds of other crazy stuff!
I definetly consider these picks to be a crucial part of my playing style, and I can't recommend them enough!!!!!
  Stubbies rock April 22, 2008 I'll never go back to a standard pick. These just feel so much more solid in my hand, are very durable, and sound great.
