I like the heavy version of the Slick Pick--I've tried the medium, which are less stiff, but the mediums also seem to have a slightly smaller diameter and aren't as comfortable on my thumb. Heavy Slick Pick PROS: (1) narrower than other thumb picks I've used (National, Ernie Ball); they feel more like using your naked thumb; (2) the material from which they're made seems actually to be "slick" (almost like teflon coating); the pick slides off the strings easily. CONS: (1) pricier than other brands; (2) the heavy pick is really thick--I wish my thumb weren't so fat since I prefer the medium for being less thick. This makes it awkward for single-note picking on the higher strings (at least for me). To give you some idea, these seem as thick and inflexible as the thickest Dunlop Stubbies and the Slick Pick has no bevel at the edge. (Haven't tried to modify one yet.) I've found the heavy to be a good pick for acoustics, electric hollow bodies and semi-hollows with 12- or 13-gauge strings. I have to be much more careful to balance the bass and treble strings on a Tele strung with 9s. It would be interesting to hear from a banjoist--I used to play banjo (beginner level) and bet these could be just the ticket.Read full review

I wanted some picks like this to play some requinto on the guitar for bachata music. These are really nice and sturdy picks and fit comfortably. If I ever lose them like I do with all my picks I will buy again.

I have been a thumb picker for over 55 years best fit and the picks are not so long that hit the pickups on my 1964 Gretsch tennessen 6119 great fit for a 69 year old man like me .
