A little about me:
Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his TH-cam channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.

Yes, but yes. I've played with a thumb pick for years and although I don't really analyse what I do it goes a bit like this. I prefer to steady the pick with the side of my index finger so I use my middle finger to brush and pick the higher strings. More importantly I do up and down picks on the bass strings for fast runs / riffs etc. It works great on electric too. I changed to the mountain pick last year.....love em! None of this has stopped my neighbour hiding from me but I guess I'll have to stop calling him Cynthia.
Thank you, Sean, for this video. I'd been wondering about the value of the thumb pick, and now I know!
Happy to help!
I love that E shaped D chord when tuned down a full step. So satisfying
Tom Emmanuel playing with thumb pick ,oh my god ,saw his interview with Rick Beato yesterday and damn
Great stuff!! i personally have only used dunlop style thumb picks and never really liked them. i will have to check these out! thanks for the recommendation Sean
A good friend of mine recommended a thumb pick many years ago. I started using Dunlop thumb pick. It took me about 3 or 4 months to feel comfortable using one and then it was the adventure of finding the pick I liked best.....😂
I ordered a slide and pick combo yesterday from Black Mountain Picks. Looking forward to them!
So cool! I’m gonna try out the slide next!
I’ve been playing with a thumb pick for 6 years, it has totally changed my playing for the better.
I’m late to the game!
@@seandaniel23 dude you’ve been a huge part of my growth… (along with the mighty thumb pick) lol 😝 just wanted to say thanks
Beautiful tunings on beautiful guitars. I’ve tried a thumb pick and it just never worked, especially with strumming. After watching this I’ll have to break them out and try again. Thanks 🙏🏽
Watch and learn guys. This guy is an artist, truly a seasoned guitar player, and what does he do? He keeps on learning! I love it!!
Thanks so much!!!
Already a big fan of Sean.
He’s being sponsored by a pick company. Stop being so gullible.
@@vkl47 I’m not going to hate on you for your “gullible” comment. I’m talking about not only this video but also his video a while back talking about how he’s learning to shred, which was an admitted blind spot or weakness he had and is now learning so he can apply it to other areas of his playing. Yeah this video could be seen by some as an ad per se (who cares, let the man make some money!) for the pick company, my comment goes beyond it though. Thank you though for engaging I guess…
@@dcarts5616 you’re welcome
Thanks for this! You've definitely inspired me to get my thumb pick out and use it more. Have the black mountain one and they're great. Have actually also been playing down a step recently :) love how it sounds.
Brilliant minds!
It’s that Fogerty tuning. We wouldn’t have the Fortunate Son intro without it. And that’s no world to be living in.
Thannks for showing us how we can use the black mountain thumb pick to improve the sound. Looks like a useful pick I could use.
Hey Joe email me your address and I’ll send you some! seand1816@gmail.com
Just got the ‘Light’ version of this pick and use it in a similar way. Really shines with my Taylor 324ce that is more mellow than my Yamaha.
For me, it’s still just a fun toy, but could see it being used live.
Thumb pick is cool, but I have trouble with the up-strums. Ya can't change the angle as easily on a thumb pick as you can with a flat pick. Love the Black Mountain pick! I really like thumb picking with fingerstyle.
that was great sean I WISH YOU COULD MAKE A VEDIO ON ALL FOURTH GUITAR TUNING CHORDS IF YOU HAVE TIME BECAUSE THERE IS LACK OF THIS KIND OF TUNING IN THE INTERNET AND I CHANGED TO THIS TUNING TO MAKE SIMILAR TO OUR ORIENTAL INSTRUMENT THE OUD INSTRUMENT I WILL BE GREATFULL AND APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORT
One of my (many) guitar heros is Pat Simmons from the Doobie Brothers and I've never been able to make friends with a thump pick. I hope your recommendation helps me.
Good product. I always liked other people using thumb picks. The thing that stops me from using one is that I should be able to use it like a normal pick when I'm not just using it with my thumb.
Nice demonstration
Thanks so much!
vey cool. just clicked through and bought some stuff. awesome
Awesome! I hope you like it!
Thanks for showing. I am such a lousy finger style player and it always feels like I am getting worse at it the more I practice. 🤷♂ Hopefully this will help!
Best of luck my dude!
Thanks Sean. My Black Mountain pick set arrives today. I notice you using the grey, I think is medium flex correct? Did you try the other two also? I have the three types coming to try out.
You might have a thumbnail, a very useful tool for a great guitarist.
How do I get one!?
This would be a good video to have an affiliate link for cause you sold me.
Try Fred Kelly Bumblebee picks.
adrianne lenker has converted me to thumb-pick-ism as well
614ce is sold???
Do you use finger nails on your other fingers? My nails are too thin and weak, they break or shave down when I use them. I love to finger pick, too. I'm afraid of gel or acrylic nails bc my nails are so thin. I have found that taking MSM, included in my MSM/glucosamine/chondroitin arthritis supplement has improved my nail strength a bit. But, IDK what to do with them otherwise.
Try supplementing with 10,000mcg of Biotin. It is for hair, skin, nail health.
@@gregalderson128 thank you! 😁
Are you using the standard spring or the extra tight?
This is the standard one :)
not a word on Travis picking?, chat Atkins..anything?
im trying finger picking cause for the LIFE of ME i cant
figure out a pick. i drop it or it doesnt stay where i place it when i practice...
Man every time I drop a pick it disappears forever
Picky, picky, picky! But yeah, I feel ya, I lose my grip on those slippery little devils too. I'm going to try this Black Mountain thumb pick, though, because it appears to stay put better than other picks, including both flat picks and other thumb picks, and it can double as a flat pick. Looks to me like a win-win.
I dare you, no double-dog dare you, to use one of those for another video... preferably not sponsored 😁
Have you played a McPherson guitar before?
I was wondering what you thought if you have
Good lesson Sean ,pretty soon you won't be able to go out the door people will be hanging out in your front yard,they'll be hounding you for an autograph,Hopefully you won't run into a Mark Chapman or anything.
Dumbest impulse purchase I've made in years, sets my Travis picking back to 101.
WTF was I thinking 😆😆
thumb picks were made for ladies so they can flick their bean 😂. I don't know why guys started using them on guitars tbh lol
