Jim Dunlop Max-Grip® Nylon Standard Pick .60MM - 24 Pack

Great pick for this aging guitar player. For me it replaced Fender Thin picks. With some arthritis in hands, this allows me to continue playing without the pick slipping from my hand.

Wow, $5.49 for a dozen! I'm playing Doobie Brothers Long Train Running, which emulates a train. It's a ferocious strumming song, and I was using a heavy pick. I think good players probably develop a very light touch on the strings when they strum, but when I'm getting into it I bear down and it's hard to hold onto the pick. I'd have to keep adjusting it and there's no time. So I looked for a lighter weight pick with some texture that would be easier to hang onto. I tried D'Addorio Duragrip, and they have a nice pattern. They're 7.99 for 10. Then I found these Dunlop Max-Grip 0.6mm picks and it's not just a pattern, it's almost like velcro. Really easy to hold. And they are light weight so they glide over the strings and I don't lose hold of them. Perfect for this fast funk sort of strumming. Not good for single note riffs... for those I want the heavy pick.

I always drop my picks. I’m sure it’s just bad strumming, but I’ve never been able to shake the habit. After nearly losing the only textured pick I own (my coveted possession!) I decided to get some more. I’m so glad I found these! These picks stick to your fingers like Velcro. They’re flexible but not soft. In my world, they’re the ideal pick. I love them!!

For me these are the best picks available. Perfect thickness (0.60) in between a Fender light and a Fender medium, plus the grippy section at the top to keep them from spinning. Completely converted me on the very first try. Bravo.

Nice picks easy to hold on to after getting used to!Happy with

I got these on the recommendation of Rick Beato on YouTube. He mentions them in one of his videos and in a 2022 Guitar World magazine interview if you are interested. Dunlop is a great brand and these are made in the USA if that is important to you. These are made of nylon and I found the .73mm thickness has the perfect amount of flex and rigidity for my playing. They do seem a little lighter than an equivalent celluloid pick. The main feature is the tread plate pattern of nubs that help keep the pick in place in your fingers. They do that perfectly and are not too tall or coarse that they are uncomfortable. These hold their playing edge for a long time.These are perfect for a beginner that is still learning to just hold on to the pick. I remember when I started out and the picks would twist and turn or drop completely. These are just as good for an advanced or pro guitarist as they let you really control the pick attack and angle. As Rick states in his interview about these, “The only ones I can hold onto anymore – probably because I’m an old guy”!The only negative is that there is some molding line flash on the ones I purchased at the wide end where they were injected and a little on the playing end (see photos). It's a little sharp on the wide end and a little sandpaper or knife can smooth this out. The flash on the tip wears in quickly so not really a concern. Give them a try! You can never have too many picks and these are pretty nice.

Like Dunlop picks. This one works well for me.

Great grip for playing guitar, especially when your hands get a little sweaty.
