If you are experiencing tension in the right hand, you may try using a Dunlop Zookie Thumb pick. They are angled at 30, 20 or 10 degrees which may allow you to bend your thumb joint just a little, thereby relaxing the hand. I haven't tried these thumb picks yet. If any of you do try this, please let us know if it works for you!

They work pretty well tho I usually use straight blade picks, you can cut/file/reshape the blade if you need to.

I've been using them for years, and I love them.
