Finger picks?
Has anyone ever tried these things? The last time I tried them was when I was trying to figure out the banjo! They are silver coloured picks that are used to pluck the strings from bottom of the string upwards. They can be sized to any finger. One size pretty much fits all I think.
They are fine for this finger style technique but my style has my fingers move both upwards and downwards as well. This is where the problem begins. The tip of the pick tends to go under the string when I move in an upwards motion on the strings. No matter how careful I am at a fast picking, I still run into this problem.
Does anyone have an idea to this problem?
Keep on jammin’

If you look at getting the plastic ones, I boil them in hot water before molding them to each finger. [...]
