Personally, when I find the need for something smaller than a standard sized pick of similar material and thickness to the Dunlop Jazz III, I prefer Joyo's marginally larger JPK-01 of very similar shape, material and thickness.

Those look cool, I think a buddy of mine uses them.

with the Jazz IIIs, I think I’ll keep working with them for a while. Oddly enough, since they are 1.14s, using them has made me crave heavier picks for guitar. I have some big stubbies around for bass playing and I’m loving the 1.0 big stubby for guitar now. My pick of choice had been .73. What a change! I like the tighter, quieter attack from the heavier pics.

I've been using Jazz III's for decades. So I guess I can say that I know a bit about them.

For metal and accurate picking, they're great picks and largely why I use them often. I don't much play metal anymore and more in a twangy/acoustic vibe. Still, I do sometimes needs a solid, accurate pick and I am very comfortable with it. I would say not to do what I did, only use Jazz III's. Because I do alot of acoustic and stum stuff, the Jazsa III's are too stiff to really play a sweet strum on an acoustic.

I just bought a variety pack of different thicknesses and styles of Dunlop picks but all of them are a 'standard' size. I need to see what actually works for me now. REmember, I only played Jazz III's for a few decades. Now a normal sized pick is like playing with a dinner plate.

Do youself a favor and regularly switch picks as the style dictates. You don't want to get 'out of practice' with a normal pick.

My thoughts.
