Yikes Troy, they're $7 in 2022. Thanks for all your great videos and advice

Nice video Troy , also to help keep the picks from slipping off I use a small dab of bees wax on my fingers . Also I use it when I’m using a flat pick too ! 👍

[@larrydering1598]

Troy, I play pedal steel more than lapsteel and I like the Propick Reso fingerpicks. They have an angled blade which puts my hand in a better position to play. Also the single band is better for me. Great videos and info.

Omg.......... I've been wearing these the wrong way the whole time😂😂I wore it with the the pick at the top of my finger instead of it being at the bottom😂 This way is way more comfortable😂

Thankyou Troy!

Hey Troy thanks for all that info on these picks... I've used Propik #2's single wrap style for several years now for steel guitar. I find Propiks to be the best for comfort and fit for me. They fit well but it does look these double wraps might be just a little more comfortable, so I'd like to give them a try. I am a little concerned about them cracking as you point out in the video however. Can you give me some idea as to how long they might last before starting to crack? I usually spend a couple hours a day on the steel.

Months to Years

[@davew4539]

Oh ok thanks. That's really not bad at all. I already ordered a couple to try along with some more thumbpicks, so far I'm finding them pretty comfortable, a little less "squeezing" sensation on the fingers. Thanks again for reviewing these.

@@davew4539 I wore a broken one for a year or so after it broke! LOL

I sand the tip down a little to stick out on Dunlop medium thumb pick

[@rockyjohnstone]

I intend to try these split band picks. What is the difference in the 1, 2 and 3 blade styles?

[@barkleyburker7849]

zookies on Deering also???? what is the length of the pick part of the zookies??? thanks

[@LessonsWithTroy]

I don't think so. www.Elderly.com has them I think.

[@pitot1988]

Hi Troy, what's different between the blade #1, #2, and #3? Thanks

[@LessonsWithTroy]

I think it has to do with the roundness/sharpness of the tip.

[@BoomChuckHoller]

Hey Troy why don't you use the actual reso picks from propik?

[@LessonsWithTroy]

I never really liked the angle of those picks. Just prefer the straight ones.

[@jhbonarius]

buy them over Wish or AliExpress. You get 3-fingers+thumb pick set for less then $2...

@@LessonsWithTroy I mean it's too bad you didn't play your guitar (or any instrument) with the picks in this video, just to hear how they sound

[@LessonsWithTroy]
