The most comfortable and multi-functional thumb-picks on the planet!
A clever way of using a neoprene sleeve to hold a flatpick to make a comfortable, fully adjustable thumbpick. Reduces muscle fatigue and frustrating flatpick control problems. Designed by Greg Atkin.
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.

Four Unique Shark Tooth Crossover Pick designs available
Traditional
The 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 model of the Shark Tooth Pick.
Third, the “Hybrid” locates the plectrum on the front inside edge of the sleeve and is quickly learned (see Hybrid photo on this page). The Hybrid model owes its basic playing approach to the Merle Travis and Chet Atkins fingerstyle. However, flat picking and fluid strumming come more natural to the player. In other words, just like a thumb-pick, a firm down stroke is achieved by the Hybrid design. However, the pick upstroke tension is loose and is, therefore, well suited for strumming and flat picking applications
When strumming the guitar is desired, the soft and flexible sleeves eliminate the discomfort and rigidity found with most plastic thumb-picks. Also, single note lead lines are more fluid and the angle of plectrum attack control features of all three models provide significant dynamic and tonal variations.
In addition, common accessory products like plastic or metal finger-pick devices may be used along with Shark Tooth.
With the Strum ‘N Comfort® Picking System, flat-picking, thumb-picking, finger tapping and the widely taught "Classical" guitar. They come in two packs for the price of one.
The 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.
Un-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.
