Stu the link you posted won't work. I deleted the some... in front of https and it worked fine. You might want to edit. BTW the young girl in the video is a hit. George

This is a wonderful product for people play with a flat pick. But the round shape is impractical for use with finger picks. I wrote to Mr. Parsons, suggesting that he make some rectangular ones that will fit inside a finger pick.

Grips for Picks

Post by Charley Bond »

I was thinking the round picks might be cut in half, so they fit on on a thumb picks or finger pick. However, I still have n't found any spots with a good texture... ?

I did that and put the pieces inside my finger picks. It was messy and awkward.

The grips themselves are great. They me be the answer we are all looking for. It's just that there needs to be some designed for finger picks.

That’s a great video, what a cool kid.
In my 30 years of playing steel and 45+ years of guitar, I’ve never dropped or had a pick fall off...
When it comes to finger picks, it’s all in how you shape them.
