This is the most comfortable thumbpick I've ever used. They sound good and don't come loose as you might suspect. This is a great product that could be used in any situation. I like to use them when I'm practicing and I've just begun performing with them, they cause a lot less fatigue. Ross Nickerson

A detailed description of each pick:

traditiionalpackage.jpgThe first model of the Shark Tooth pick to be presented here is called "Traditional". The Traditional design uses an interchangeable Velcro pick/strap assembly and can be easily adjusted for thumb size and for overall plectrum flexibility. The pick tip protrudes through a lateral hole in the sleeve. The pick tip can also be adjusted in and out relative to the thumb line. The Traditional model also has a balanced up and down tension or playing feel. Therefore, using the Velcro strap for adjustment around the thumb, the player can control all of the pick flex attributes. In addition, the Traditional model makes it easy to substitute your favorite flat pick for use with the Neoprene sleeve. They come in two packs for the price of one.

hybrid.jpgSuper Hybrid model of the Shark Tooth Pick.
The new SharkTooth Super Hybrid now adds the "use any pick" feature like the SharkTooth Traditional model does. The Super Hybrid Velcro wrap is what is different. The wrap angles back on the thumb at an strong angle (aligning more over the knuckle). This new angled fit pulls the Neoprene material tighter around the thumb tip and flat pick itself. This action helps to keep the Neoprene material from interfering with the strings. The Crossover Pick can also be placed closer to the end of the thumb and still be very functional. In addition, the wider Neoprene side wall on the thumbs left side is less likely the catch on a string when strumming.
Kodiak.jpgThe Kodiak Crossover Pick
The Kodiak uses a simple leather strap, has a long wearing polymer flat pick, is less bulky, and offers a very snug fit. The Kodiak model is a design combination that uses elements of both the Traditional and Hybrid SharkTooth picks.The Kodiak basic package includes the leather strap, two different gage flatpick strap assemblies (.8mm & 1.0mm) and instructions. The Kodiak is fun to play with and it is a favorite of many professional players.
They come in two packs for the price of one.

AtkinsHybrid.jpgUn-Thumb Pick
The second model, called the “Un-Thumb Pick”, is a revolutionary design that offers abundant technical flexibility. “Un-Thumb Pick” supports the plectrum on the outside of the sleeve. This pick orientation allows control over every aspect of play. The guitar player engages the pick using the first finger, and when released, the pick retracts to enable a natural Classical approach. That is, play with your bare fingers or engage the flat pick at will. While some practice is required, the musical rewards are well worth the effort.Shark Tooth picks are soft and flexible sleeves with a plectrum that is designed to provide total freedom in guitar playing technique. The picking system facilitates what some have called a “universal stringed instrument method”. Whether the guitar player has training in Classical technique, flat-picking, or the Chet Atkins finger style method (using a traditional thumb-pick)… There is no longer a division that limits your musical possibilities.


Sweet Band Steve Priest Signature Crossover Dual Pack
You get two Neoprene bands, a 0.80mm durable polymer flat pick/strap, a 1.0mm flat pick/strap, a spare hook Velcro strap for use with your own pick and a set of instructions. Enhances Skill Development; Less Muscle Fatigue; Comfort and Control;  Full Adjustable on the Thumb; Use your own pick

Appalachian Death Trap
Very fast shipping!! THANKS! I play Bass Guitar, I have been playing about 25 years, I play in a band (Appalachian Death Trap). About two years ago I started getting to where I couldn’t hold the pick after two or three songs. I went to an orthopedic surgeon and had an MRI done and it showed the epimysium (a sheath of fibrous elastic tissue surrounding a muscle) had tore. So I started searching on ways to strap a pick to your finger or thumb. While searching I found a picture of someone wearing a shark tooth crossover pick at a NAMM show. This pick has been a lifesaver for me and it also allows me to switch from finger playing to pick. It has changed the way I play bass. Just give it a try, you won’t be sorry.
