3 Stainless Steel, Open Design, Metal Finger Picks for Guitar, Banjo, Dobro, etc. Fingerstyle picks. Fingerpicks for acoustic guitar, banjo. Adjustable to large, medium or small

I have tried several steel finger picks for my banjo to date and I really didn't think there would be anything new with these ones.But believe me there is!!I received them at by post at work this morning and now that I am home the first thing I did was pick up my banjo to try them. I have played with them on now for 30 minutes give or take an hour ;o)) and they are truly inspirational.After a bit of expanding to get them on my fat fingers they fitted perfectly and the tips are right at the correct point wher my finger tips normally meet the strings - and I can feel the strings through the gap / hole / space / whatever you want to call it where there is usually metal on other lower quality picks. This gives me a much better sensitivity and feeling when I am playing.Brilliant ;o))I am away back to play some more tunes .... Jimre right at the co

I needed some picks to play clawhammer banjo. Unfortunately, I had to return as these didn't work at all. My finger would go right through or the pick got jammed under my nail. The metal got wider with use making it even worse.

Just need to bend back the tip at the point where they wrap around your finger. Haven't found anything better tbh

I was very happy with these. I bite my nails, a lot, which wasnt a big deal until i bought a banjo. I was also not accustomed to using picks having started playing music on ukulele so found them difficult to begin with.If you can't get used to the regular finger picks that curl around the finger tip creating distance between finger and pick then I would recommend trying these. They sit much closer to the finger so post more feel. They work well for both clawhammer and finger picking although i mainly use them for the latter and clawhammer with my plastic ones. Sometimes they make a scratchy noise on the string but not a major issue

these are very very , actually i can't stress how difficult these are to use. along with the difficulty of using them there is also the moment when the metal gets jammed under your nail, causing your finger to bleed, and also when the metal gets wider from use and your finger goes right through and you then pull half your nail off on the G string and can't play for a days. DO NOT BUY... WASTE OF TIME!

My skin isn't as resilient as it once was so I've decided to make a serious attempt to get used to using guitar picks. So, I bought a set of these and two sets of plastic/celluloid picks (Dunlops and Guitar Geek). They are all inexpensive enough so value for money is about the same all round. The metal picks are for the fingers only, no thumb pick. For me I've found these metal picks much more natural to use and get used to than the plastic ones. The plastic ones have a more pronounced and pointy tip which protrudes beyond your finger length, the Pick Geek ones (not pictured) are the pointiest. Now, I can see that if you are already used to using the plastic picks there may not be much point in abandoning them for the metal ones. I can also see that, perhaps with determined practise, the pointiness of the plastic ones could lead to a more precise and probably faster picking action. But, for me, the metal felt better, nearer to natural immediately, so I've worked with them. Another point in favour of the metal ones is that as the metal is malleable they mould to the shape of your fingers better and become both comfortable to wear and yet still secure. The plastic ones (I got a large and a medium set), despite trying the drop them in hot water trick to break them in, both still feel tight and restrict the circulation to the end of my fingers. As the metal set did not include a thumb pick I've used the thumb pick from either plastic set. Both are fine and I have got used to them readily enough. So, now, it looks like my new technique will be a hybrid, plastic thumb but metal fingers.

MODIFIED --I have been playing finger style guitar and banjo for 45 years but recently I have had a lot of trouble with weak finger nails. I have tried other finger picks but find them difficult.The design of these allow the point of contact to be adjusted to just above the line of the nail.BETTER STILL If you carefully bent the end back just a little you can emulate your fingernail better which gives you the feedback you get with a natural fingernail. BRILLIANT

Nothing to do with the retailer.They arrived quickly an the price was good the picks.They appear to stiff at one end and tend to slip on the other.It may be okay to use if you have them on ood.Would buy from them again.Can't get on all fingers,but I neede them for one finger only.I have finger style picked for years.Just started having nail problems now.They don't give me any confidence when playing,and it appears hit and miss with them.They may be good for other people though and I think you have totry various picks to see,a bit like buying strings.I have thumb pick which is good,plastic Dunlop one.Also play on 10 guage strings,this could also be a factor on using picks,string guage.
