Fingerpicks anyone?

Are these they?

Steinar is correct. Those are the ones -- Thanks.

those look pretty cool. I might try some out myself - just to see.

...only negative issue I had with them was that I got a scratchy kind of sound when picking the wound strings.

The scratchy sound - was that from the inside of the ring or the outside? I remember I got a little bit of that with the Alaska's I bought, so I got out some of my fingernail sandpaper (opencoat 320), and went over them till they were just like glass. Still...I think the one thing I remember about the Alaska's was that they would sorta stick out - the sides of them that go around your finger - and when my fingers would pass by each other, they'd click together a little bit. Like the plastic's kind of soft, not really brittle-stiff, so it had to be a little thicker.

Yah, that was part of it I remember, that 'clicking'.

At least I got over the weird 'bruised' feeling that the fingerpicks give sometimes. It's not really a bruise; just feels that way. And then it goes away.

Those ProPiks look worth investigating though. :)

Definitely -- I just ordered a handful from the link you provided.

The Pro-Piks I like best are called Reso-Piks, and are angled toward the pinky of a right handed player. Their other angled picks angle towards the thumb, and I never have been able to figure out why anyone would have thought that advantageous for a right handed player. The ones angled toward the pinky make a more right-angled contact with the strings.

I'd suppose it was from the inside of the ring, I was probably sticking my fingers too deep in between the strings so the inside scratched against the windings. Or something like that...... Listening to Steve Dawson there's not much scratching going on..
