Light Gauge

VERY NICE PRODUCT. I try to play guitar but have always been uncomfotable with any flat pick. Mostly they turn in my hand or just feel akward. NOT THESE BABIES!!! They fit nicely on the thumb and work well with either the up or down strum. Really just what I was looking for. One thing to be aware o,f the thin pick (that I purchased) feels pretty light and thin. That doesn't seem to impact the sound in anyway. I potentially might purchase a medium set after I get used to the thins. There is a slight learning curve to adjust to the feeeling of the pick on the thumb. Still it's a well made product.

Amazing invention! WOW, makes such a difference. So glad I bought them. Playing my Martin again! They don't slip around at all.

Good concept for Chet Atkins type of thumb picking. Well made, and 3 picks for $20.00 is the highest I have ever paid for a pick. The spring works well at this time. I won't be giving any of these thumbpicks away as I usually do. I will keep the picks close to me and away from my Guitar picken buddies.

I picked up the Black Mountain Light Gauge Thumb Picks to improve my fingerstyle accuracy, and they’ve made a noticeable difference. The spring-loaded design gives a secure yet comfortable grip, especially for medium to large thumbs, and the light gauge pick offers a smooth, responsive feel that works well for both picking and strumming. Also as I get older, I’ve come to appreciate the quiet ease of not having to grip a pick—there’s something freeing about letting my thumb do the work, especially when comfort and flow matter more than speed. What sets these apart is the hybrid flexibility—they let you switch between thumb picking and flatpicking without changing tools. I’ve used them on acoustic and electric guitar, but they’re also great for banjo and mandolin. The beveled edge reduces drag, and the pick stays in place even during longer sessions. If you’re looking for a thumb pick that blends control, comfort, and versatility, this one delivers. Just be sure to choose the right tension—regular for comfort, extra-tight if you have smaller thumbs or want a firmer grip.

I’ve been using Dunlop and national thumb pics for 40 years and always felt the pick parts were too thick to actually use for lead picking and strumming. This unique combination pick and thumb pick is perfect for me. It’s actually increased the variety of techniques I can use with my thumb, including strumming, arpeggio, picking and regular alternating bass picking. I was worried about the spring loaded clamp holding onto my thumb, but it does an excellent job.on arpeggio, picking and regular alternating bass picking. I was worried about the spring loaded clamp holding onto my thumb, but it does a excellent job. Very well-made product, I’ll never go back Dunlops or nationals.

It works for some songs.

I have neuropathy in my hand and holding a regular pick is difficult and I drop it a lot. I have other thumb picks but they're tight and are tricky to adjust (gotta dip them in really hot water and put it on before it cools). This is comfortable, easy to use, and stays in place.

As a person who has played guitar for 55 years, I have to say I was skeptical about these thumb picks. But I gotta say, I love em! It took some hours of use, but they have become 2nd nature to me. Don't worry about the price because you won't be losing any of them! Go from flat picking to finger picking at will. I use the light gauge, put em in hot water, trimmed a tiny bit off to suit my tastes and voila! These are not the heavy, inflexible, traditional thumb picks.

I really like these. A softer material so gives a warmer sound.

These are good but can take some getting used to! Customise to your fingers with a sharp knife for length. Comfortable & durable, the most expensive pic I have ever come across!

One of the better thumb picks that I have which actually stays o the thumb

Good pick for fingerstyle guitar.

This is the best pick ever. I’m an older gal and have arthritis in my hand and was having trouble holding onto the puck. This pick has changed my life. I’m retired and rely on my guitar for sanity. We’ll done !
