Hey guys, so I bought a couple of these Herco Thumbpicks today (I bought mediums) and holy shit, they're a game changer for me for hybrid picking, fingerpicking and regular picking. Having the ability to not lose your fucking pic inside the soundhole on my acoustics by accident when you need an extra finger for hybrid picking is a real major improvement. We've all lost a pic inside there at some point...flip, spin, clang clang....come on fuck...oh oh oh, there! Got it!
I expected a bit of a learning curve for fingerpicking compared to the super long ass old style thumbpicks (they're ridiculously long and get caught in my strings and I was going to give up learning to fingerpick because of this). I have tried other styles but I hate them all. This is my sweet spot since it's just like a regular pic. The mediums are a bit too flexible in comparison to a Dunlop Tortex Orange (medium - 60mm). I didn't get a chance to try the heavy model as my local shop specially ordered in the mediums. They come in a bunch of colors. I got red and blue. They didn't have black.
Anyhow blah blah blah but you should check them out. I am so happy!!!
Having the pic stay attached to the thumb at all times is super handy. Just gives you that extra confidence that you won't drop it like a retard when you need it most and they're pretty comfortable on the thumb. Won't press on your thumb moons so you'll forget you are wearing it. Look for them at your local shop, if they can't order them in for you then you can find them online too.
