UWG,  I have heard of those zookies but never seen any near me.  I'll have to check them out as I like the idea of hitting the lower strings at that angle.

In the thumb pick  area, has anybody seen a Zookies? They look like a white Duncan except the tip has a twist that causes it to strike the string flat. They come in three degrees of bend and two sizes, large and medium. At least I've not seen a small. Only one place in East TN that I have found them.

Hi Tim: I'd like to see a picture of your modified pick. At first I imagined  the tip being bent at a hard angle (90) but that didn't make sense as it would grab the string and not pluck it.

Hi Edward.thanks for the invite ...I use Jim Dunlop Nylon picks ...most of the time I use a. 60 NM but I modify them... by folding the sides and bending the tip..this helps me hit the strings I want not too hard...but at the same time sounds like a finger pick...

Thanks for the invite! When I started learning the guitar, I used a pick. Lately, I've been using my fingers more often. I thought it would be useful to try both methods. Here are some pix of my picks. The purple one is from my brother. He's played guitar for years, so he has a lot of picks. I found the red Guitar Center pick on the sidewalk, and I picked it up ( remember when people used to pick up pennies because it was supposed to be good luck?). The Dunlop pick with the blue marble pattern is from a set my boyfriend got me. That is the style I use most often.IMG_9482.jpg And here are my Hello Kitty picks. These are rather thin, and I've found I like something a little thicker. But they're cute!IMG_9481.jpg
