I use 2 different Mel Bay picks, the light blue they stopped selling back in about 1975 or 76. So I went in haves on a box of 400 picks. Thinking this should be a life time’s worth. Then one day I went to get a new pick to find I only had 7 left. Now I’m down to 4 and decided I better start looking for another pick to use. After searching local stores for anything close to what I want, I went on EBay and searched for Mel Bay picks and found the green “Light” pick. Bought one order of 12 picks, used them and like them better for some things than my good old blue “Thin” pick. So I got 3 more packs of 12 for a total of 48 and have stashed some in the guitar cases and other places in the house. I’ve never used the small front tip, rather it points at my palm and I use the rounder larger corner to strum or pluck the strings.
