Why would I use finger picks?

Finger picks are great for improving the sound quality and clarity as well as to gain volume.

Here you can find some tips that we would like to share with you:
- Adjust the finger picks on the tips of you fingers, with the pad of your finger resting against the playing side. Put the thumb pick on your thumb and use the part that is sticking out to pluck the guitar strings.
- Twist the finger picks slightly to reach the best position where the pick comes flat against the string. This twisting means that the pick tongue may not be on the same plane as the finger nail. The amount of twist depends on your wrist position, and may vary from one finger to another.
- Wear the finger picks so that only the pick touches the string, not your finger. If the fingers touch the string, they tend to affect the sound.

Pro tip: adjusting the size and shape for a custom fit

Some experienced players prefer to customize the size and shape of the picks for each individual finger with the aid of hot water. Use this procedure at your own risk:
Dip the pick (or the part that is to be modified) briefly in hot water with tongs. Avoid too long exposure to hot water, so that the pick does not lose its structure. Take the pick out of the water and make sure not to burn your fingers. Adjust the shape of the pick, and then hold it in the desired shape while dipping it into ice cold water until it hardens into the new shape.
This method can be used, if the picks are too small or large for your fingers or you want to modify the curve of the tip of the pick. You can mark different picks with a marker.
