Wayne,

I'm a nail biter. The Alaska picks require that you have come nail to hold them in place.

I've used all the ones Stollin' Johnny mentions. The Pro-picks were comfortable and gave me some string feel as well as a clearer sound. I've given up on most everything however and go for the "soft" sound of skin on steel. I usually play a loud dreadnought so I get along OK unless I am in a group, then the Pro-picks come out.

Maybe I should get on down to the nail boutique and try them out.
