JIM DUNLOP 9022P Shell Plastic Thumbpicks, Medium, 4/Player's Pack

These picks are super! I love playing my guitar with this pick. It fits my finger perfectly, and it helps me produce great sounds and tricks. It's more expensive than others but it's worth it.

When I took up the banjo recently, I bought some metal fingerpicks and grabbed the thumb pick I was using when I played slide guitar. It was designed to be a combination flat/thumb pick. I found this difficult to use while learning Scruggs style banjo.The Dunlop pick is a bit longer; I am missing far fewer notes now. (Maybe because I have more practice?)For the record, I find large picks unsuitable. These medium picks are a little tight but not uncomfortable.

The fit, size & feel of the pick....very pleasant to use.

Previously: Even though these are 'medium', tbey were too tight for me. I also got the Dunlop medium Ultex picks and they were fine. The Shell type is much stiffer material and so the fit has to be close to perfect for it work. So these are probably great if they fit well, but there's less margin for error.Update: this morning, these fit better than the Ultex, which were too loose! So it's my thumb, not the pick, and I take back my comment above, but I do suggest getting both kinds in case you have the same problem. I gave 4 stars rather than 5 because I need a pick with a shorter pointy end, but this was the best I could find. I've found that other musicians have the same need, liking their pick the best when it's worn down quite a bit. I could not find such a pick anywhere.

Perfect for gigs where you might lose a pic. Recently tested during a windy concert with no issues

Great item and price

Not a heavy.

Fits my small hands great, just wish the tip was a tiny bit shorter. Stays put without strangling your thumb. Sound and feel is excellent. I like it better than the ultex version (which is more brittle and pointy than the shell plastic).
