Jim Dunlop Jazz III is the favourite of all the miniature-Alexis out there. He used those at least on some point, maybe still.
 
^ Yep, he said in a recent interview in Total Guitar (posted in the Interviews thread), when asked if he uses Dunlop Jazz III picks, "Yeah, I do use them. I wanted a pick with
a real sharp tip for better attack to make my playing sound more aggressive. Plus it's small and easy to hold."

This is very true by the way, same reason I use them. Most little older guitarists tend to look down on people using jazz III though, since "they are only used by teenage wannabe-shredders" or something like that. That's true too, but I don't care since it's a good pick and I'm pretty used to it so whatever.
 
I'm losing speed when I grab one of the regular picks. You know what's the feeling. I saw that most of the guys here use Jazz III picks, so I decided to give it a try and then there was major change in my picking.
 
I've never seen Jazz pics sold here in Estonia though. I have to settle with ESP 1mm picks, which are cool, but I feel like if I had Jazz picks, I could be more like omgAlexi.
 
^Just order them man. Thomann has a good deal on bags of em. Have about 2 bags left.

Best picks ever. Necro, yes, don't give a fuck, if you think it's good, it's good.
