Tortex Pitch Black Jazz III vs Dunlop Flex vs Classic Jazz III guitar picks

My search for a Jazz III that sounds like an orange Tortex has ended. The Tortex Pitch Black Jazz IIIs are exactly what I was looking for.

There is something about the clicky sound of a medium pick against the strings of an acoustic guitar that I love, and the Pitch Black Jazz III picks get it just right.

In this video, I compare the Pitch Black to classic Jazz III, as well as the Dunlop Flex Jazz III. Out of all of them, I felt like the Pitch Black had more of the “jangly” acoustic guitar sound that I was listening for.

Dunlop Tortex Flex Jazz III Guitar Picks Review

I wanted a pick for acoustic that sounded like an orange Dunlop Tortex but felt like a Dunlop Jazz III. I have been using Jazz III exclusively for more than a decade now, and regular size guitar picks feel huge to me!

There is something special about the sound of a medium thin pick with an acoustic guitar. I absolutely love the tone of an orange Tortex pick, but I just can’t get over the size.

I set out on a quest to find a thinner pick that was the size of a Jazz III. The Tortex Flexe does a pretty good job of balancing the sound and feel I was looking for.
