I've always had a hard time with the pick. I can't hold onto to it any way to make it as comfortable as using my thumb. When I really want to enjoy strumming and playing with music, I use my thumb. But, I make myself use the pick when I practice because I'm trying to learn and get better.

I've tried every pick from .33 to over 1.0 plus the stubby with the place for the thumb. Still can't get it comfortable enough to strum, especially up and down; keep hanging up and getting frustrated.....

Ideas here are welcomed, but short of picking lead, I can't seem to find a good use for my picks

thanks
