Any of you leftie guitarists got any ideas about thumb picks. Left handed ones not easy to find, and using right handed ones doesn't work too well,

Keep plucking!

Rick,

I am a natural lefty, but I taught myself to play guitar right handed for that very reason. OK maybe that's not the reason, but you know there is a natural superiority of southpaws in that they generally have much better command of the opposite hand than those of the dextral persuasion. I once heard one of the latter prolcaim that he would give his right arm to be ambidextrous.

have you tried a narrow flat pick and super glue ;)

Jim Dunlop makes left-handed (or more correctly, left-thumbed?) thumbpicks. For more info, check this URL:

Looks as though the smallest quantity available through the Dunlop website is a box of 20, but if you like'em, that's likely a lifetime's supply.

Good luck and thumbs up!
