JIM DUNLOP HE112P Flat Thumbpicks, Medium, 3/Player's Pack

I'm 73. I play electric guitar on my couch. I drop flat picks. I never drop these. Slight adjustments in holding pressure and position and there is no problem picking anyway you want. medium is the most comfortable and versatile but weakens faster at the bend. heavy is uncomfortably stiff but the application of 'just enough (without melting)' heat at the bend will loosen the grip and it will last longer than the medium.

Just starting to play with a thumb pick so I bought three different kinds that I saw on a YouTube video. This is the one I like best.

I like the flat pick shape on this thumb pick. I got medium and heavy picks. The medium can loosen and change position on my thumb if I’m being a bit aggressive on the bass strings.

I have trouble finding picks that do not slip off my thumb, or ride too high on my thumb knuckle. (My fingers are one place on my body that never gains weight or puts on fat.) These fit snugly and comfortably and are pliable. Have you seen the ads for the very pricy picks that have springs in them? I decided to try these first, and they are everything I need for 1/30th the price. These also have holes drilled in the plastic to make them very easy to grip if you decide to change to using them as a flat pick. I can easily move back and forth between thumb picking and flat picking with these dandy little guys. I use these for dulcimer, autoharp, guitar, mandolin, and banjo and ukulele. Five stars for me.

Long time flat pick player, got interested in thumbpicks trying to learn finger style. Saw a guy play awesome electric guitar with a thumbpick, so my little brain said "hey - maybe you could make some changes to expand your playing". Had one laying around, and had some good results, but it wasn't exactly right, thought I'd try some. These were shaped like a regular pick (one of my gripes about thumbpicks I'd seen and had). Of course hard to predict from a picture, so gave them a try. They were shaped as I'd hoped, but unfortunately the wrap-around part was so flimsy, using upstrokes without holding it like a regular pick, it flew right off. Possibly a heavier gauge would work, but at >$1 per pick, it might take a long time and lots of money to find the right one. Off to a music store. My mid/low rating is not really about the product-what I ordered is what was delivered. It's that it didn't fit my specific need. Unfortunately, I immediately lost the packaging so no return.

Fit well on my thumb and they stay well without moving or getting dropped.

I love these thumb picks. I am notorious for dropping my picks when playing so these are the perfect solution.

These work great and I recommend them highly.
