CHICKEN PICKS REVIEW
Most of the guitar picks I review on Guitar Pick Zone are made by big companies who have been producing guitar picks for many years. The reason I focus a lot on these is because they've been around for a long time and are just so popular all over the world. However, I absolutely love and support the smaller and newer guitar pick companies that make innovative and boutique guitar picks. When I think of these smaller companies, one of the first that come to mind are Chicken Picks. Chicken Picks is a plectrum company that are not even 10 years old, yet, have impacted the guitar playing world in a big way with their small yet extremely innovative range of guitar picks. I'll attempt to review Chicken Picks as a whole as well as looking at each of the individual models they have available in their range. What Separates Chicken Picks From Other Guitar Picks?
Other Factors that make Chicken Picks great.. Chicken Picks Are "Ergonomic" Plectrums
Chicken Picks Shapes, Gauges & Sizes
1) The Regular Shape Chicken Pick:This Chicken Pick comes in your regular shaped pick that we all know. This shape has an option of a 2.6 or a 2.2 millimetre gauged option. 2) The Chicken Picks Shredder:This particular pick is only made in one gauge of 3.5 millimetre. This is definitely Chicken Picks thickest gauge available. The shape of the Shredder resembles that of the regular shape however it is slight smaller. My best guess as to why this pick is called the Shredder is that it is most suitable for guitarist who like to shred. 3) The Badazz III Chicken Pick:The Badazz III is my favorite Chicken Pick shape of them all. It is the Chicken Picks version of the Jazz pick but what makes it different is that it has three points/tips. The tips are all the same size and shape so it's not quite as versatile as the Bermuda below but having three of the same edge means this guitar pick can essentially last you 3 guitar picks worth. Yu can choose the Badazz in a choice of 2.0 or 2,5 millimetre gauge. 4) The Bermuda Chicken Pick:The Bermuda is a bigger triangular shape to the Badazz above and whilst it features 3 points/tips as well, the top two tips are sharper whilst the main tip is rounder. These different tips/points make it quite a versatile picks in comparison to the others in the range. What Kinds Of Guitar Styles Are Chicken Picks Good For?
On my opinion the Chicken Picks are great for your faster styles of music where precise and quick picking is essential. Ironically, that covers the bluegrass and country territory again. Despite this, I definitely think that Chicken Picks are best used for Blues music but you might find these to suit you on other styles too. Downsides To Chicken Picks?
After a few weeks of playing this pick I have one small downside to add. I found that with the Chicken Picks, I'd often get unwanted pinch harmonics from striking the string. The reason this happen is due to the curved edges of the Chicken Picks guitar picks. Whilst the curved edges are the main selling point of these plectrums, it is also a big contributor to unwanted/unplanned pinch harmonics. This could also just be down to my technique.
