I already laughed out loud before you realized you inserted the picks the other way round. Quickly, I remembered one of the Carter sisters doing the reverse strumming. I'm a beginner. So I really appreciate your videos. Thanks
Drill a 3/16 " hole in your thumb pick a little left of center of the bottom of the pick and your thumb , also put a little bit of Finger Ease spray n a rag or Q- tip an apply it to just the part of the the thumb pick and finger picks that touches the strings . I don't spray it on my strings at all. Your pick will stay on and glide over the strings and cut string noise all most totaly out . I use a Golden Gate heavy large thumb pick and Dunlop brass .025 finger picks . Thanks
Hey, I love videos. I too use Ernie Balll finger picks. They are all I have ever used. Every time I try something different, I’m just not happy. However, lately I’ve noticed more buzz/scratchy sound coming from my finger picks. I’m wondering if that could be a sign that my picks are worn out. How do you know when metal picks are worn out? Is it a visible wearing down or just a sound? Thanks.
Had a hard time coming off the money for Blue chip. Now I would never use anything else. First got the regular one, but the tip was too long and he traded me for the JD Crowe pick, no hassle. I use an Acri pick on my middle finger and a Sammy Shelor pick with the wider band on my index finger. I have always had problems with the picks coming off and the wider band helps, but using an Acri pick on my index finger felt too cumbersome, so I went with the SS pick there. Thank for the video.
I have the Ernie Ball finger picks . I have the Russ Carson and JD Crowe blue chip thumb picks . What brand of banjo do you play ? I have a beginner type and a Deering .
great choice on the finger picks! I mainly play a Deering sierra .. I also have a Deering Senator for clawhammer. I keep a couple deering goodtimes around to practice with.
The Pickey Picks are great. I have used them for 30 years.
ive been using them for about 5 years, but i will never use anything different now! they are great.
I agree with the Blue Chip thumb picks. Matt does a great job!
they are fantastic!
yes, Blue Chip thumb pick is great. The finger picks are nice but it's more a matter of trying whatever you like, but the thumb pick is #1
I am considering picking up a Recording King RK R35 . How do you feel about that banjo ?

i done the same thing with the bluechip! regular then the jd model! never thought about asking for a trade..... maybe i should lol!
just ordered my first Jd blue chip.
you will not regret it! great thumbpicks
I been looking at the bluechip and propik thumb pics check out the propik its metal and plastic too
i have had a pro pick.. i didnt really like the double thumb wrap
The buzz is caused by the pick hitting the string on its side, not the tip. I bend my finger picks to hit the tip on the string.
Good advice.
