13:40 "Nobody wants to be over-encumbered. That should be left for Skyrim, it's always an issue there." Right, you are.

[israelhernandez]

You are a true inspiration to me. Greetings from México City. Keep up the great work!

[jesselawson]

I love your signature picks, they need to do more of the unfinished edges, love that feature

[calumobrien]

I actually found out about Gravity picks through your channel a while back. I’m currently using their Sunrise Big Mini 3mm picks. I find them comfortable for my playing style. I’ve never been one for sticking to a product or brand permanently. I like exploring different products, but I can’t see myself changing to a different pick in the foreseeable future. I’m very happy with what I’m using at the moment.

[robbrady]

It's well worth experimenting with different picks and pick sizes/shapes. I've found the Dunlop jazz III is a great all-rounder, and the Fender 347 is a favourite of mine for strumming. I've not tried Gravity yet.

[Ariakiri_]

I'm surprised you didn't have one of the Tripp picks in there. For me, having the option of three different edges on one pick is what got me. Because when you're sitting around jamming, you never know what kinda mood you might be in!

[Dsexton]

I personally feel that every Chapman guitar should come with at least one Monkey Lord plectrum.

[rijosigns]

omg i play a tortex green .88 for years man this helps, i tried a 1.5 to 2 mill works for me i never knew picks make a differance ty rob

[maidenthesla]

Currently playing with a Gravity Classic Big Mini 1.5. These picks seem to glide through the strings more efficiently than other types of material used in the plectrum manufacturing world. I have another brand of acrylic picks that I use too. I would say I have been using these picks for around 3 to 4 years.

Thanks for this @Rob Chapman; after watching this I went back and watched the "pic" vid you did with the Captain in August 2016

[BenWGray]

The Petrucci Jazz III is my current favourite. I also like the prime tones.

[aek]

Jim Dunlop Jazz III Max Grip Carbon Fieber is my fav of all time!

[TheGuitarshredder]

Gravity picks are great i have collected just about all of them over the last few years. they never wear down always have the right pick for every style i want to play.

[BlackwellRocks]

Thanks Rob. I'm also a recent devotee of Gravity picks, and the shamford edge won me. Hearing it this way I think a polished edge in particular accentuated the digital manner of the tone. For a direct type amp sound the in polished edge certainly sounded better. Polished may work better in front of an amp needing more of a push. 🤘

[jasonstone]

Cool jam at the start Rob enjoyed that.
I use Dunlop 1.5mm.
When I first started out 20yrs ago I was using really thin bendy picks then someone advised me on using a stiffer pick, and my playing got a little better quicker.

[chroniclesofbap]

The pick is often taken for granted, but can have a massive impact on tone. Certainly more than wood-types

[FatalizedGuitar]

"This is going to be like playing with a lozenge" this killed me I have no idea why, but i loved every millisecond 😂

[Newbyrock]

2mm Big Mini Sunrise has been my go to pick for years. It’s just my favorite gravity pick of all time.

Great vid chappers, gotta grab me some sig picks of yours!

[ERWebster]

This video is well timed from my perspective. Just tried my first Gravity pick, and I thought that annoying clink was due to the type of plastic they used. Never occured to me that a polished finish would have that affect. I guess I'll give a different one a shot.

[joesatchton]

One of best things about being a guitar player is the sheer number of options we have - dozens of string types, literally hundreds of different kinds of picks and gauges....hell, ever go cord shopping at a very well stocked guitar store? :)

Choices and options are ALWAYS awesome. Me, I absolutely cannot play at all with super heavy picks that have been all the rage in recent years. Plus I'm cheap - I just can't see spending like 4USD on a single Gravity pick. But that's me and YMMV... And I don't care if everyone loves those super tiny Jazz III variants - I've tried them and they're just too small for me.

After hacking away at guitar for decades and decades, I have finally settled on 3 picks depending on what I'm playing - all Dunlops. 90% of the time I will be using .73 Dunlop Ultex Sharps - amazing picks and perfect for me, though there is a lot of pick dust from the Ultex line. The other 10% of the time, depending on mood and what I'm playing, I will play Dunlop Tortex IIIs, also in .73 and sometimes in .60, especially the .60 for acoustic strumming. Besides, if they're good enough for Paul Gilbert, they're good enough for me. lol

I just bought a massive amount of each and don't ever plan to buy another pick for the rest of my guitar life.

I think... ;)
