A great substitute to the traditional plectrum/picks
I have always used the traditional guitar pick, so I bought these with an experimental mindset, and it really surprised me. But saying that, I probably would only use the thumb pick, as I personally find the other 3 (finger) picks a bit hard to use when plucking the strings, as there is bound to be a gap between your nails and the finger pick. Nonetheless, the package comes with a cute little bag and a silicon thing for the picks to clip onto your guitar so you don’t lose it. So overall, I would say the package is very price worthy.

Seem good if you can get used to them
I am turning to use finger picks as my aging skin and nails are no longer as elastic or tough as they once were. I bought three sets to see what I liked best, these, some similar Dunlops and some open finger steel picks from "Tone Deaf Music". There is nothing wrong with these, they seem to be lighter and a little less rigid than the Dunlops and I can see that some may prefer these and some the Dunlops. I found using them a similar experience to using the Dunlops, it's a matter of trying to get used to them which is likely to take some time. Of the three sets I bought I found that the open finger steel ones felt the most natural and seem to have the shallowest learning curve. That said, none of the three sets feel natural and I feel clumsy with any of them. It could be worth persevering with the Dunlops or these as the "pick" part is more defined (pointy) than the steel ones and perhaps that will encourage a more precise technique. The steel picks are only for the fingers, no thumb pick, so you need to use the Pick Geek/Dunlop thumb pick, either of which has been easier to get used to than the finger picks. It looks like I'm going to learn some kind of hybrid technique, steel on the fingers, plastic/celluloid on the thumb.

Very good quality Picks
Great quality, the little (canvas I think) bag with the leather tab on the pullstrings is of good quality and very handy. The only issue I have is that I use Large dunlop picks so I ordered Large and found they are loose on my fingers and the thumbpick is not as tight as the dunlops. I know I can warm them up to tighten them but I'd rather not melt or burn them so I have ordered some mediums. All in all very impressed by the quality and the presentation, tone doesn't seem much different than my dunlops. Try them, see if they suit you, I will definitely use them.

A good, comfortable fit for the larger fingered player.
I have used the same picks for years and thought it time to buy new so, I bought these and have tried them for both guitar and banjo playing. I have rather stubby fingers and my thumb shape is broad, so the normal "medium" sized picks go nowhere near fitting. It surprised me how difficult it is to get a large set of picks (only two sets on Amazon UK and one of those was out of stock) so I was delighted to find these. So, to the playing. They are easy to set to the exact angle you want - some players, like me, play with the hand rather more front on than side - and are elastic enough not to be cutting off the blood supply etc. They are comfortable and of good quality, the plastic being just firm enough for my picking style. What more can I say?

Nice product.
Nice finger picks and nicely presented. They come in a nice little bag and with a free pick wedgie all presented in a nice little box. The only thing I would say negative I there is no way of knowing what size you need. I have fairly slender fingers for a big guy so I went for medium but they are a little tight so probably should have gone for large which means of you have sausage fingers even a large will be a little small. All In all though the pick geek products are good quality and I would recommend but just size up from what you think you might need would be my advice

Pretty little things
I ordered some to use on my thumbs for the kalimba. I got size small but they are very tight on my thumbs (they are meant to be for fingers) so I would size up. I have very small hands (female, 28) but these were still too tight. If you put them in hot water for a few seconds then you should be able to stretch them out a bit. Lovely colours though and very well made and presented.

Brilliant guitar picks
Great value for money and is very simple. A selection of picks, great for those who want a more mellow tone to their banjo playing, as an alternative to metal picks. Not as malleable as the metal ones, but this wasn't a major issue for me. What’s not to like ? A good selection of sizes. Sturdy. Arrived quickly. Fingerpickin’ good!

Funky and make playing much easier
I've got a ukulele and wanted to learn a few songs requiring picking so I got these and they make life so much easier. I love the bright colours as well, really funky
