Spring Loaded Thumb Picks by Black Mountain The new spring-loaded plastic picks from Black Mountain merge traditional picks with the security of a thumb pick . What ’ s great is that not only does Black Mountain offer these in varying thicknesses and pick sizes but also in the amount of spring tension you want holding it to your thumb . My preference was for the higher tension , but a sampler pack might be the best way to go . Black Mountain currently offers Jazz tips , Heavy gauge and Medium gauge . Achieving the correct fit for a thumb pick can be challenging , but the tension springs in these picks makes it much easier . Plus , they play and sound great . Prices start at $ 19.95 for a 3-pack . If you have been seeking the right thumb pick for yourself or a friend Black Mountain could be the ticket . www . blackmountainpicks . com
PickMate prices start at $ 25 and are available in various colors you can customize it for that special person too , but there is an upcharge . www . thepickmate . com
Guitar Jewelry Guitarwrist and Gibson Guitars have partnered up to create jewelry aimed at musicians . The strings used to make the jewelry are from the London , England Gibson Showroom .
