Finger Picks Medium 12-Pack Alaska Pik Guitar Stringed Instrument

AlaskaPiks agave alleviated sooooo many issues for me! You only need to have imperfect long-enough nails to help keep the em in place. Yes, at first they are uncomfortable. Yes, it is entirely worth developing the minor callouses just under your nails in the front. Part of the pick goes under there and it’s a splendid design. These things sound like real nails, are much tougher, can be filed if I want, AND they leave the meaty tip of your fingertips exposed so you can still get soft brushing strokes in where u want. These picks enhance subtle expressiveness unlike the big clunky metal ones that come entirely between your fingers and strings. They are small, tough, bendable to comfortably fit your diameters of your various fingers. I use all size Med for ring, middle, and pinky. I do NOT use AlaskaPiks for my thumb. I use abnormal thumb pick. All in all, Inhave about $12 of pika on my hand when I play and I usually forget I’m wearing them. Give them 1 week of practicing everyday and bit and I bet most of you will agree. As always, people differ in wants and needs but I think it would be worth trying out for most anyone. A huge benefit to me!

I am a carefree 30 yr amateur guitarist and within 30 seconds I knew I was going to return these. This is not a "set" of finger picks as most readers might believe. This is 10 of the SAME size (medium) picks and the medium size will not fit even my pinkey.....5' 10" adult male. in retrospect the description pictures will show you what these are....BUT most any casual reader will believe they are buying a set for thumb and 3 fingers with some spares.....that is not what this is....I am a bit disgruntled for the price of these things that that information was not more clearly laid out in the first two lines of the description...besides all ten are the same size!! so if you needed "refills" for 3 different sizes.....bout $50?!

I didn't find them comfortable until I clipped the sharp edges and stretched them as recommended on the website. Once I did that they got a lot more comfortable and easy to use. I still don't think they are fantastic and they could still be more comfortable but I have to admit that they beat all the other finger picks I've tried. I recommend them.

I played a wedding today using the Alaska picks on my thumb and ring finger. They were very comfortable and stayed on my finger well without being to tight. For my fingers I cut the extra piece off and just used the smaller part. It fits snug under my nail and is the perfect length. For my thumb I used the full size of the pick and it worked great. The material is easy to bend and shape using a file and buffing blocks. This produces a naturally smooth sound that you can get with your nails. I got the medium size. They fit great on all my fingers but I might try the larger version for my thumb but the medium works great if you bend the plastic back and it makes it looser around the thumb.

They are great nail protecters, I mold them to fit each finger keepinf them seperatly so I can find seerat for ach finger. I like 5hem because I can feel the strings while playing.

I tried these and had a hard time getting used to them, though I know some people swear by them. I primarily wanted to use them to save my nails on the steel string, but I haven't yet been patient enough to mold them to my fingers and file them short enough, which I think is the trick to making them work.

I learned to finger pick on banjo but moved on to fingerstyle guitar and electric guitars. I’m not into the long fingernails and glue on nails. However steel picks in electric guitar, round would or flat wound, is not good. These are great picks for both acoustic and electric guitar. I will stick with metal picks for banjo and stick with conventional thumb picks across the board. Great invention. They reall work great and have great tone.

I purchased the medium size. They are extremely small and really pinch my fingers even my baby finger. I do not have large hands or fingers and use size M in other brands of picks. They do sound good on my autoharp. I probably should exchange them for large size... but it’s a bother.
