My (limited) experience with finger picks

[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] hi I'd like to talk about finger picks when I was younger I never used it a finger picked not of any sort not a finger pick not a regular pick since more recently that I started picking up the finger style method of playing I find that my nails get shredded at least one particular one on the high E string so I recently picked up these metal picks and this is the thumb pick I know if you could see it and these are the other picks and I do not like them and you could hear the string sounds you could hear the metal touching the string just doesn't work for me goes on like this and here they are if I try to play the House of the Rising Sun [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so you can hear all the noise that'll work out for me okay here's without the finger picks [Music] so clearly and it volume diminishes greatly the sound is not sharp see on a nylon string it's not really a problem steel still help but I don't shred them this thumbpick was recommended this particular one the thumb pick was recommended by time and manual can't get better than that and this is a Dunlop and I thought I wouldn't be comfortable with it and I'm still not yet but getting there and I think this is great this Dunlop when these I just got I just got literally today okay now I have these on and if you look these look more like the extension of my nail and wear them even though it seems like it kind of hopes up but it looks like a nail I tried them both ways and this is the way to go believe it or not I can strum with these and with this subtopic which surprised me much louder here's an example oh well you hurt without and this is wit [Music] now truth being said I'm still not 100% comfortable and I can get stuck a little bit but so far so good you have to experiment with them so here's the House of the Rising Sun introduction again [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] okay so these are much better I could file this down that could switch off between think opinion and strumming [Music] [Applause] and I don't have to take them off so to me this is perfect if I get used to it thanks for watching take care
