Thank you for the kind reply. The bluegrass fingerpick usage certainly didn’t come naturally. Jim Pankey teaches that you just have to keep using them. Your brain will eventually adapt and learn the new geometry of the fingers with picks on. I push them on real tight, so they don’t move, also with the metal tip as close to the fingertip as possible so there is not an excessive addition to finger length. Thanks again for your encouraging comments!
