That’s great @Hughandi 👍 I have fat fingers, so I find finger picks to be uncomfortable. I found the “Black Mountain” thumb pick to be OK, but I’ve not found finger picks that work for me🤔

I can’t say mine are comfortable, I guess they have to be pretty tight to stay put. Might try a Black Mountain they seem to have lots of fans.

I like black mountain thumb picks. They are very versatile. I, like you, am still adjusting to the finger picks. I find with a little bending and time they are more comfortable. Using D’Andrea plastic picks but haven’t tried other brands yet.

Nice! I cannot acclimate to the fingerpicks at all. I’m okay with a thunb pick, but the rest feel clunky and unnatural to me. I like using my fingers instead.

Great win! I am finding with some perseverance I’m liking the finger picks, I actually keep them on when not playing to get used to the feel

Same here. I have tried to use thumb and finger picks before, but never had any proper instruction, so abandoned them pretty quickly. This time I decided to try taking my time and going very slowly and just follow along with the video. If there was a section that was giving me trouble I concentrated on that. After a while they almost felt natural. Will definitely continue to work on this.
