You don't deserve koa.
My fav mass-market/find-them-anywhere pick is the 3.0mm Dunlop Big Stubby. Used to buy Jazz IIs (more rounded tip than the Jazz III) but I strongly prefer very thick picks. Physics, man.

Aren't you selling these @Mark Wein ?

This is that device the master Weiner tried @Mark Wein and reviewed.

It's been a long time guys. I'm very proud to announce the launch of the Pykmax Universal Picking Platform. We took some of your feedback and baked it into an amazing new product. Our entire first-generation product line has been replaced with this one product that is adjustably-sized, compatible with left-handed and right-handed players and now works with almost any of your favorite guitar picks. Please check it out on Amazon.

The man demoing this may have only had a little time to get familiar with it before shooting it and had to come up with something impressive.
Nevertheless...
If this device is supposed to improve picking accuracy and control (and, presumably, speed), high-gain, hammer-on/pull-off playing with lots of delay and reverb doesn't really demonstrate that. I didn't see any impressive feats of picking in the video. It sounded bad-ass but I can't tell how much of that is the product.
Most guitarists know that not everything that sounds awesome is hard and not everything that is hard sounds awesome.
When I think impressive flatpicking, I'm thinking bluegrass acoustic or Al Di Meola with a clean tone. That would really show whether the improved control is there. Better still would be a known good flatpicker giving a testimonial that it really helps. We all know there are players out there who can make anything sound awesome on Youtube.

Interesting, but I don't think that's for me.

I always find it weird when proprietors of small businesses try and achieve that 'remove' via marketing-speak.

Those were great picks I had one, I gotta see if I still do.

Jeff Beck doesn't need a pick... So neither do i!

Django Reinhardt didn't need his ring and little finger to be fully functioning.
Jeff Healey didn't need his eyes.

Good point. When my deductible is used up I'll schedule some appointments!!!

I ain't even mad.
I'm a hybrid picker. So, having a handful of plastic would not be for me.

Pykmax UPP is an ergonomic picking platform. You simply attach a standard guitar pick and enjoy an upgraded picking experience. It's adjustably sized to fit various hand sizes and supports both left-handed and right-handed players. You can check out a recent video review from Ola Englund here:
Keep in mind that this is an upgraded version of a similar product (Pykmax High-Performance Guitar Pick) that was introduced many years ago. The older models had a fixed size and only worked with Pykmax branded guitar picks.
There are lots more videos on our YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/pykmax. Some of the material is related to the original Pykmax guitar pick. The new model is just MUCH better.
Many players have reported that Pykmax helps them with their technique and/or enhances their performance. Many players that have difficulty holding a regular pick (Arthritis, neurological issues, etc.) have reported that Pykmax is the only solution that enables them to play.
We are really interested in additional professional feedback. We want viewpoints of guitar instructors, performers, and students. We really believe in the product and your feedback will be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
