D'Addario/Planet Waves Guitar Picks
-----------------------------------
Guitar picks may seem like a simple tool but with varying
materials, shapes and colors to choose from, D'Addario/Planet
Waves has made it easier than ever to help you find the right
pick for your playing style. The following guide will help you
differentiate between varying shapes, materials and tonal
characteristics.
Pick Shape:
-----------
D'Addario/Planet Waves offers three different pick shapes, each
having their own advantages: Standard - Perfect for
picking or strumming, the standard shape is by far the most
popular as it offers enough area for a firm grip but also has
more defined tip for good note articulation. Many players also
turn the pick around and use the rounder edge for a softer attack
and warmer tone. Wide - Wide picks are easy to hold and
offer multiple picking areas by simply rotating the pick as one
edge begins to wear. Jazz - Jazz shaped picks like our
Black Ice Picks ( http://www..com/dp/B001PGXII4 ) are the
ultimate for pick control and articulation. The small size and
sharp shaped tip allows the pick to have a fast response and
bright tone with excellent note definition. This pick is a
favorite among jazz, progressive rock and metal guitarists.
Pick Material & Tone:
-------------------------
Try this experiment. Take some picks of different material and
drop them onto a counter top. Notice how they all sound different
when they hit the counter. The same rules apply when they strike
a string as well. The material and thickness that your pick is
made out of can have a dramatic effect on your overall tone.
