Good pick for sweaty hands?

[mightycornholio]

Mga bro, anong pick ba ang maganda para sa pasmadong kamay? Sa ngayon kasi ang gamit ko ay Fender Heavy pick (yung kulay violet, normal plastic pick) at sa sobrang pasmado ng kamay ko minsan nawawalan ako ng good grip sa pick. Isa sa mga choice ko ay yung Dunlop Tortex Standard Picks (Celluloid picks), tas yung kulay orange (.60mm), I think it's good for rhythm-playing tsaka yun din yung hinahanap kong pick, yung maganda para sa rhythm-play. Anong pick pa ba ang pwede kong bilhin/gamitin para sa pasmado kong kamay, pick na pang good grip at okay din sa rhythm-playing. Please help, thanks.

try mo Jim Dunlop Ultex Jazz III 

[Gunslinger]

Jazz III Ultex - the yellow one.

Try mo rin yung Tortex Jazz or regular shapes for a slightly different feel. Kung sa normal plastic picks naman, buy some cheap ones, take a little knife and leave criss cut marks on both sides na medyo mababaw lang, but enough for your fingers to grab onto. I used to do this a few years ago.

Go for the nylon picks with provision for grip. Ok yung Jazz IIIs. Stay away from plastics/acrylics.

San naman kaya ako makakabili nung mga Dunlop na pick tulad nung Ultex, Jazz III, etc?

[macmackerz]

I think JB has the nylon Eric Johnson Jazz III's. I'm not sure if they also have the ultex and other types of jazz IIIs

+1 sa JB. or you can check the guys who order stuff online if may stocks sila ng nylon picks.

ESP makes those picks with some sort of abrasive substance that feels like sanding paper on the "handle" part of the pick. I never has the need to use em. My nephew has one of those ESP picks, which he bought somewhere in SM Lipa City.

Tried those. Pretty decent picks. Lyric carries those.

Let me share something I learned from Dimebag many years ago. Riffer Madness column, Guitar World. I have been doing it eversince.

"GET A GRIP. When I play live, I jump around like an idiot for an hour-and-a-half or more under a lighting rig that's hotter than hell. This makes me sweat like a pig, and makes it real tough for me to keep a firm grip on my picks, even those that are supposed to be non-slip. Losing control of your pick on stage sucks, so I scratch some deep X's into both sides of my pick with something sharp, like a dart. Doing this makes your picks look like [gooey brown stuff]-but at least you won't look like an [pineapple] because you dropped one in the middle of a solo!"

I know dunlop has max grip picks like this one

I like the ultex jazz III's rin though i'd have to assume mas me grip to haha.
 
But I think you should consider a lighter gauge of picks when you're sweaty kasi you have a tendency to pick a lot stronger when you use heavy picks and that really strong motion could make the pick slip from your hands. So using 1.5mm and above gauge picks may require you retrain your pick "grip" lalo na if you're sweaty.

Though good idea nga yung DIY-ing ng grip sa picks rin.

If you want something made for your specific problem talaga then I know me product called Gorilla Snot for that

The ESP pick i mentioned earlier literally parang may papel de liha, unlike the ones they mentioned from Dunlop that only have patterns on the surface.

If you still have some of those Fender heavy picks, perhaps you can try muna punching a hole on it--using a regular office  paper or folder puncher.

I had the same problem before and I had several of those same picks so I tried punching a hole in the middle first before deciding to buy new ones.  The hole was enough to keep the grip and it worked for me.

meron akong ESP pick na parang may papel de liha sa maliit na surface kung saan naka-kabit ang ating thumb and index finger. Maganda sya.  but i lost it. bibili na lang ulit ako.

Saan ka nakabili nun? Tsaka anong model ng ESP pick at magkano naman?

[jajacabel]

^di ko alam kung anung model un eh. pero around 30-38 pesos yata ang isang piraso.

Ah, mura lang pala. Anong thickness (.mm) nun? Di kasi ako mahilig ng 1.00 pataas eh, usually ang ginagamit ko from .60mm to .80mm.

Ibanez Sand Grip Wizard Guitar Picks! Got mine from Audiophile for 50php per piece

Punch small holes in your pick.
