Picks P7FF-M-3 Poly Freedom Finger Pick Medium Guitar Pick

I must rise to Mr. Kelly's defense, though I do not know him. He has made an ingenious tool for the average finger. Problem, no one has average fingers. Please don't blame his fingers for your inability to fit yours with his humble transparent fingertips. You get 3 -- all one size. Well, surprise, my middle finger is fatter. I knew I needed all three to be snug, so I sized DOWN to fit the ring and luckily without much effort, the index finger. They're tight but they have to be kinda tight to be versatile.Mr. Kelly can't tell you this; he would face lawsuits: the temperature at which polycarb melts is 155 degrees Celcius. Immersing in boiling water ain't going to do it! There are various tools for softening polycarb, but they are all really hot, and you have to mold them to fit your finger at a temp that would burn anyone, except Human Torch maybe. Solution, mine: soften with fireplace mit, stovetop element, and double food skewers, and GENTLY separate. THEN Slip on your finger when you can tolerate high heat and HOLD AND MOLD til it cools and hardens completely (cool in water but that will cloud your plastic). If the tip melts, you have over-heated and will need to smooth back into shape with skewers or wooden spoon, or start over if you burn it up! REWARD? Absolutely. Not as brassy as my National brass picks, but what a beautiful consistent sound combined with my polycarb thumb picks, AND you can strum-pick-pinch-thumb-brush-or-go-all-out-Flamenco, because at their best (which is real tight, folks) you've got FOUR picks that go any which way. WAY louder and crisper than the Fred Kelly Delrin, which I bought first and also recommend for softer fingerstyle. Am I going to use these every day? No. Have they opened up technical possibilities I haven't encountered in 31 years of playing. Yeah! Try them. Just don't burn your fingers up or cut off all circulation. But my 12 string NEVER sounded so good as the last few hours. These just glide, pluck, bang, and coax music out of that axe I've never heard before (Leo Kottke excepted, but look out Leo).

In the the last few years, I stopped using flat picks when playing my guitars. I switched to playing just using my fingernails. Playing with just my fingernails works, until my nails get ruined after a long session. My fingernails just don't hold up long enough playing on my nylon string, steel string acoustic and electric guitars. When I play, I love to play guitar for hours.So I looked on the internet for a solution. I tried out several brands which weren't up to snuff.Later, I found and ordered Fred Kelly Picks. So far, they work just fine on my nylon string, Martin acoustic and on my Strats.I've been a picker for 50+ years. I've tried a few finger picks over the years but never got the comfort, or precision, of well shaped finger nails from most other finger picks.The Kelly's do the trick.I play a modified Travis picking style for some things. Also, in the 90s, I had the good fortune to hang with an excellent Flamenco player who showed me the ins and outs. I use that technique when playing on my nylon string and on my other axes. With the Fred Kelly's I can do anything I did with a flat pick now and so much more on my acoustic steel string and my Strats.Now, with a super-glued well shaped fake nail for my thumb pick and the Fred Kelly's on my fingers, I can play for hours. I've had success with the most intense Flamenco picking I can muster, and it's all good.I've got bigger than average hands. I'm over 6 ft tall. I got mediums for pointer, middle and ring fingers. I got a small for my pinky. The fit is about as good as it gets. I like 'em so much, I ordered a second set in case I lose one.Cheers!

I tried these picks because my fingernails grow in an awful manner - uneven and chipped. Because they are wider than my natural nails (duh, they are wider than my fingers), they feel quite awkward. They also tended to slide along the string somewhat, particularly the index finger - though this is likely due, in part, to my playing style. Being self-taught, my form may not be proper. These picks also have a much more subdued sound (far less bright) than my natural nails. Not sure if that is due to their thickness, the material, or a combination of the two.Regarding the size, I would suggest you order them larger than you think you'll need. My hands are on the small side and I bought medium picks. Were I to order these again, I would probably want two large (index and middle) and one medium (ring). I doubt that one size would fit anyone comfortably for all three fingers.
