John,

My hands are ugly, scarred, chopped up, perpetually embedded with jeweler's rouge but small they are not. And I will try Slicks when I can find them. My brother uses Ernie Ball thumb picks because they are so small. But we use picks strictly as finger pickers. I rarely use flat picks for anything but down picking and thise that I do use are Dunlop Tortex whites that cpome to a very sharp poiny and they are much stiff.
