I have discovered Thumb Picks!!!

Sign in to disble this ad
I play in a bluesy/metal/hard rock band (check the myspace to see what I mean...) and have always been faced with a picking dilemma. I prefer fingers, but some songs call for the attack or outright speed only a traditional pick can provide. Until recently id just throw them at the crowd when I was thru with them and grab another when i needed it. Needless to say, I spent MONEY on those Fender Mediums.

Then I discovered thumb picks!!! So cool, they are. Finger-plucking part? Go for it. Tremelo picking? Just use that convienient piece of plastic wrapped around your thumb nail. And switching back and forth between them is cake.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my new found tool. Peace
