I'd strongly advise taking a look at our very own host Dan Miller's excellent "Flatpicking Essentials" series.
I have the 1st 3 volumes & they've helped me enormously.
I just love my TAD 40 "lefty". I keep trying other picks for comparative purposes, but always end up using the Blue Chip. Fully worth the $35 IMHO.
I live in a small village near Romsey in the beautiful Test Valley, Hampshire, UK.
I travel to work in London every day, so lunchtime picking would also be a possibility!
Understood Bruce!
I'm with you on the not being convinced bit - my left hand is SO dominant that I just cannot strum/pick with my right one, so lefty was the only way for me.
Probably not a very helpful suggestion, but did you re-try going natural i.e. lefty?
I swear by this stuff!

I had it in one of Steve's Kamp books. Maybe '05? It was an intermediate version. I'll see if I can dig it up for you for next summer if you like. I'm really glad you enjoy that version of "Fiddler's Dram".

I would absolutely LOVE to get to go to Kamp, but life, finances, etc., so far have conspired each year to prevent that from happening. I DID get to meet Gary in person after having done guitar swaps, emailing and telephone conversations and such over a 2-3 year period. He's a good guy and I think it would be really cool to have a whole room full of lefty guitars and guitar players, although I'd really like to have one righty, just so they could understand what we routinely face surrounded by a sea of "backwards" instruments ;-)

I got an awfully complimentary report on your Moon from Gary over on Leftyfrets!

I don't see no flatpick in your hand in your picture here! :-)
Glad you're here... this flatpicking thing is addictive, isn't it?

In my humble abilities I have been fortunate enough to use some great picks on guitars that I do not deserve. I have several tortoise shells that dear friends gave me long ago. They are like playing with a fingernail and even shape to your fingers...
This is the club for all you pickers who have
discovered the excellent Blue Chip picks.
