I have used this shape pick since 1975. These Clayton teardrops are made of material I find perfect for me. Not too hard and plastic like. But not as soft as nylon. The only picks I use. The only downside is I wear one down after 4 hrs playing time.

I've been through possibly hundreds (thousands?) of picks in my life, testing every one I could find. Clayton picks are one of two picks that seem to fit my sound the best. They're warm sounding, with a bit of brightness to them. I find they work best on my darker sounding guitars. They're unbelievably durable (I have one from 1986 - I don't beat the life out of picks, nor do I lose them), and very comfortable. Now, my caveat - I'm a jazz guitarist with a pretty well developed technique, and I'm looking for that classic sound (Bruno, Raney, Wilkins, Wes, etc.), and these picks have the size, shape, and material to work for that. Were I playing rock or other music, I might find different picks, so please keep that in mind when reading this review.

These picks are great because they fit on the pads of your finger which makes for a good grip and are much easier to use that the big picks. If you play guitar, lead, i recomend buying the thinnest pick you can.

this pick is terrible. i would not recomend this pick to anyone at all. it has no grip what so ever. it falls out of your hand what ur useing is. and it is completely bent( it has a cruve in it )

These picks give you incredible dynamic range--the ability to switch from finger picking to the surge of hittin' em all is incredible. Stay right where they belong on sweaty outdoor gigs.
