Fingers is best of course. However if you find yourself in one of those noisy pub sessions (however it is our Irish friends spell it!) then you need a thumb pick. If you have fat fingers (along with fat much else sadly in my case) then there is only one solution, because reshaping thumbpicks in hot water weakens them.

You need the rotosound large size thumb pick, They sell them for 90p but if you buy the bag of a dozen - the shopkeeper will do you a deal usually. Personally I'd say order two bags, as they do attract the admiration of all classes even the criminal classes amongst our fellow musicians and you do have to look for them and search them out, they don't grow on trees.

A comfortable solution!
