I've always been a bit sceptical about these fingerpicks, does anyone use them, any experience. I think getting the right size may be one of the most important aspects? Regards Rob

I did try them once but I found them so uncomfortable it didn't last long. Now I use short nails for acoustic or standard fingerpicks/flatpick for electric.
It took a lot of experimenting to find what worked for me. It would be worth giving them a go to see if you like them.

I've tried them, but also found them uncomfortable.
The tip sits under the nail, so your nails have to be of a minimum length before you can use them.
Also I found it was a bit off a faff having all these little bits of plastic that were carefully sized to each finger. Approximately once a day I would lose one of them, start swearing, and then find it after 20 minutes searching under the couch.
I gave up. I bit the bullet and now go with acrylic nails (yes, at the nail bar!)
And now I am blissfully happy. Although my partner thinks they look creepy...

I struggled with them too. The only time I would need them was when I broke a nail, and then there wasn't enough nail left for the picks.

Martin Visiting a nail bar for the first time was one of the great cultural experiences of my life. I now go every five weeks. Being their only male client I'm treated like a celebrity. I would recommend it to anybody :-)
