    The Pickey Picks are great. I have used them for 30 years.

      yes, Blue Chip thumb pick is great. The finger picks are nice but it's more a matter of trying whatever you like, but the thumb pick is #1

    I already laughed out loud before you realized you inserted the picks the other way round. Quickly, I remembered one of the Carter sisters doing the reverse strumming. I'm a beginner. So I really appreciate your videos. Thanks

      @@AnnLippert1 lol what made me laugh was how long it took for me to realize what I had done ! Ha ha

    The buzz is caused by the pick hitting the string on its side, not the tip. I bend my finger picks to hit the tip on the string.

    Had a hard time coming off the money for Blue chip. Now I would never use anything else. First got the regular one, but the tip was too long and he traded me for the JD Crowe pick, no hassle. I use an Acri pick on my middle finger and a Sammy Shelor pick with the wider band on my index finger. I have always had problems with the picks coming off and the wider band helps, but using an Acri pick on my index finger felt too cumbersome, so I went with the SS pick there. Thank for the video.

    Hey, I love videos. I too use Ernie Balll finger picks. They are all I have ever used. Every time I try something different, I’m just not happy. However, lately I’ve noticed more buzz/scratchy sound coming from my finger picks. I’m wondering if that could be a sign that my picks are worn out. How do you know when metal picks are worn out? Is it a visible wearing down or just a sound? Thanks.
