Topic: Thumb Picks Too Small

Thumb Picks, I play with thumb picks 50% of the time but most plastic ones are too small and I have small hands. My poor thumb starts crying for help!
     
My remedy for this is placing a thumb pick in the microwave and warming them up,careful just 15 to 30 sec. usually does it and then I spread it a little while it cools and then place it on my thumb for a good fit.

Re: Thumb Picks Too Small

I use Jim Dunlop thumb, finger, and flat picks. They're available in many shapes and sizes. You can order directly from their web-site or they'll give you the location of the dealer nearest to you.

Re: Thumb Picks Too Small

I also have some Dunlop thumb picks i guess I just don't like that tight of a fit that the large gives me.I'm kinda fussy about the fit of my thumb.I usually go without fingerpicks tho I prefer the sound of flesh I guess.Thanks
