I bought some finger picks on a whim once. Do what I do, stick them in the desk drawer and leave them there.

If you boil your metal thumbpicks for a couple of minutes and then put them on, it will re-shape your thumb :) You either love them or hate them. I finger pick or flat pick. I recently got a banjo-uke but I finger pick it instead of strumming. It has made me want to get a proper banjo but I'm confused by the different varieties, I've never got on with open tunings or anything too dissimilar to a guitar.
