Dunlop Pick Variety Pack, Assorted, Light/Medium, 12/Player's Pack

These are great. Work well and a nice variety.

Using to determine what’s best for me. Got two assuming i would lose some.

These pick are a great value they create good tone when playing the guitar

This is a great package of picks for beginners/intermediate. 12 light to medium nylon picks come in the package. This is particularly nice for beginning guitarists because those gauge picks are the ones you need. (Heavy gauge pics are usually geared more for PRO players and music that is played with harder strumming.)My particular favorites in this pack are the Dunlop grays. They have gentle RIDGES on the pick that help with thumb/finger hold (especially if your hand gets sweaty.Only reason this pack doesn't get a 5 is the color/design choice. Nothing real flashy or showy here. Also would be nice if Dunlop would have packaged them in some little tin or case to hold them. Barring that, don't be afraid to get these. Good value/nice guitar pics.

When it comes down to picks, strings, cables, effect peddles, amps, and even guitars, every musician has their own opinion (doesn't matter if your a "professional recording artist" or a "garage band artist" or a "I play for me in my spare time" artist. As they say opinions are like @$$*****, everyone's got one. That said, I've personally been using Dunlop Tortex picks for decades, prefer the reds and oranges (depending on what I'm playing). A majority of time, I'll grab a Tortex red. Why these? Love the texture, even after a lot of usage (I have a few that are very old, are worn smooth, are now bent to my normal usage, and I will grab those before anything else). Realizing that guitar/bass players are very picky about their picks/strings and such, this little review is, of course, my personal opinion. Take it for it is.Why I use Dunlop Tortex picks? Texture and material. Many "name-brand" picks are very smooth. Personally, I hate these. They slip in my fingers when I'm sweating, or when it's raining (always great fun at a gig... not). If you're playing in a air-conditioned studio... they might be fine. Dunlop Tortex picks have a slight texture to them that makes them easy to hold and position to your liking. The texture holds up for a long time, longer than might be expected. I have several that I still use that are literally decades old. Granted, the texture is now gone, but I still use them because they have molded to my style of play. With these, I know where/how/when/how hard/how soft/how deep/etc. I'm hitting the strings. Yet, I can pick up a brand new pick and play just the same. If you play, you know what I mean.I've used many other brands over these decades and cannot say the same. Most are "too smooth" of a surface texture, and I end up throwing them on the floor and grabbing a new one before I can finish a set (granted, I don't play sets anymore, but when I did...)Just take this for consideration, I have a few Tortex reds that are something like 20 years old, and I still use them. Dunlop Tortex comes in many flavors for any sound and style of play. They even have a "back-ribbed", or maybe a "humped-back" pick, that offers a unique sound when used correctly (not sure of the actual name nor model and cannot find quickly on Amazon). Not to mention, when I have the need to finger pick, the Dunlop thumb picks (of my particular choice of thickness) is my only choice. I'm an amateur, former garage band guitarist (mostly rhythm, but also lead), that has been picking for longer than I care to admit (that is... decades... and I am still learning and continue to... how to say... play like $h!t), I've forgotten more than I currently know, and I've attempted to teach many at least some basics of how to play guitar. I always recommend Dunlop picks, and give away many I have laying around (I always have extras, of course) to those I have provided some instruction. I will recommend Dunlop Tortex picks every time, but the choice is yours. Just keep playing and picking!

This variety pack helped me to find my favorite guitar pick. I'm still a beginner at playing guitar. I've only been playing for a few months. That being said, I don't have a lot of experience with the different sizes and types of materials that are used to make guitar picks. But the Ultex .60 became my favorite pick out of all the guitar picks in this variety pack. In the past month or so I've tried almost every size of Ultex pick that Dunlop makes. I keep coming back to two guitar picks: the Ultex .60 (that I discovered in this variety pack) and the Ultex Sharp 1.14 (that I discovered in the Dunlop medium/heavy variety pack). I use the Ultex .60 for strumming and the Ultex Sharp 1.14 for arpeggio. I think this variety pack is great. There is enough of a variety in the assortment that there will probably be something for everyone. I also highly recommend the Dunlop Medium/Heavy variety pack.

Nice quality would buy again

I recently started playing again after a couple of decades and back then I used nylon Dunlops exclusively. I am excited about the Ultex, Tortex and Gator grip picks I found in the package. I don't know if these existed twenty years ago, but I'm glad I know about them now. The Gator Grip in .58 mm is my new favorite pick, and I have a dozen of them on order. Try these, you'll find something that you like.
