another pick question
I am looking for a thumb pick that is shorter than most thumb picks, When I do finger picking I usually use my thumb alone. When I use a thumb pick I tend to dig to deep on the string, (even with a regular pick I tend to have just a small bit exposed for picking) Has anyone had the same issue and or found a thumb pick with a short tip
I might try modifying one to see how it works.

Hey @johnny67 Many of us are heavy handed on the strumming/picking hand, so I can totally relate. I’ve heard others say they’ve filed down the tips on the plastic thumb picks, so that might be an option.

Yep gonna do some modifying today Thanks Lorraine

@johnny67 Interesting concept by Black Mountain picks. They are very comfortable due to the spring loaded top and come in two thicknesses. The one I have is 1 1/8″ long.

I do use the black mountain pick which I really like but it sticks out around 7/16 past the edge of my thumb, gonna do a modify today and see how that goes. thanks for the suggestion

Let us know how it goes, @johnny67 , I know there are shorter thumb picks you can buy, but filing down is what I did because I already had thumb picks that I bought. But in the end, I used them at their original length. It was just a matter of getting used to the thumb pick.

Thanks Mike, I think your probably right I just need to get used to them, But I have to give it a try, It’s my nature to make things work better for me, Kind of a curse😆
