Question Re: Using ProPik Finger-Tone Picks
For those of you who use the ProPik Finger-Tone picks, which way around do you wear them?
I've seen pictures of them worn on the fleshy part of the fingertip like this: ![]() And I've seen pictures of them worn over the nail like this: ![]() The latter method appears to mimic an actual nail better than the former. But, for some reason, I get the feeling they are supposed to be worn like in the first image. So, how do you wear them? Thanks |

Thanks for the replies.
I'm glad to hear that the consensus so far is that they are worn as in the first picture. Reason I say that is that I ordered a set of the ProPiks Finger-Tone picks and also a set of the Fred Kelly Freedom picks. Knowing that the Freedon picks are supposed to be worn on the top of the finger to emulate a nail, I wanted the Finger-Tone picks (which when I ordered I assumed were worn on the bottom of the finger) so I could compare the two techniques and see which I prefer. Had they both been worn on the top of the finger, they would not have been all that different making any comparison a bit of a moot point. But then again, I guess nothing says I can't try the Finger-Tones on top of the finger as in the second picture and the Freedoms on the bottom of the finger to see how they feel/sound that way. Anyway, I'm anxious to receive them to see how they work out and which picks (and which position) I prefer in the end. Thanks again |
