Fred KellyPicks D2B-L-8 Delrin Slick Large Thumb Light Guitar Pick (Pack of 8)

Finally found the thumbpick I want. Light weight, strong, comfortable, holds my thumb tight enough to prevent slipping. Great pick.

These thumb picks are amazing.Comfortable and just the right shape.No digging into your thumb like a lot of the others, and they stay put..,,Changed my approach to everything....Been playing 30 years and couldn’t be happier..,

I’m getting used to them. I play finger style a lot more than with a flat pick, so my flat pick technique is crap. I always drop them mid-song. This seems like a great solution. The fit is kind of tight on my thumb but it doesn’t bother me unless I’ve been playing for a long time. Although I bought the “light” picks, they seem stiffer than a light flat pick would be but, then again, it may just be that you can’t just loosen your grip to let the pick give when strumming. You have to, kind of, roll your thumb which is tricky when doing a fast down-up-down-up strumming. I think my single note picking is faster with this though.

These are fair. But they are not stiff enough. I have fairly large hands and fingers even so they will not stay on my thumb very well. I’m constantly having to adjust them.

I like this pick a lot. Not too tight. I have big hands. I just stretch it a little before I put it on. Sounds great. I like the way it attacks the string and I also like the way I can strum with it. Holds up well after many months of playing.

It's more flexible than most thumb picks. The flexibility allows you to use it as a flat pick without missing a beat. This is a big plus in my book. It is a little pricier, but the difference is worth it.

Fred Kelly Delrin picks are all great, and the Slick Pick is one of the best. The yellow version is thinner, so if the song calls for a thinner pick or you really like more flexibility, then this may be right for you. I like it a lot, but I usually prefer the orange or white versions that are stiffer and give a more solid tone. Also, check out the Speed Pick which is my favorite Kelly pick design.

I got what I was looking for in this one... so here are some comparisons, which is what I was looking for when I was considering it. The large light pick is comparable in fit to a Dunlop medium thumbpick and in thickness at the picking end to a Herco medium flat thumbpick(which is along the lines of a Fender medium flatpick... stay with me here). Thing is, where the Herco is the same thickness throughout and always feels like it's gonna fly off your thumb(that pick also runs slightly smaller), this pick starts similar in thickness to the Dunlop and tapers, so it stays on MUCH better. It's also the exact same length as the Dunlop, which is too long for me and I will probably end up trimming or at least rough it up on the fireplace, but it's also more rounded than any other thumbpick I've used... much more along the lines of the Dunlop picks I've shortened, but with the added strumming ability of a somewhat thinner pick. This one is a winner and I will probably check out the large medium as well.
