hile we're on the subject, I use a thumbpick one of my students turned me on to years ago.. Its a white pick with a very small rectangular tab that hits the strings.. They never wear, and have increased my speed and dexterity a LOT.. By far the best t pick I ever used.. I am down to my last one, and have NO idea who makes them.. i will be SICK if I lose it.. Does anyone know what it is.. Regular plastic band around the thumb, but the picking tab is TINY and rectangular.. HELP .. i need to know who makes these... bob
