Unlike
the more familiar flat picks that hang two-dimensionally, thumb picks have
depth to them and will appear more prominently on your ear. If you like
a larger earring and one less familiar as a guitar pick to many non-musicians,
this Earrpix offering is a great choice.

About National Guitars
“The Mississippi Delta was shining like a National
guitar.
I am following the river down the highway through the cradle of the Civil
War.
I’m going to Graceland, Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee….”
Paul Simon, “Graceland”
Graceland, Warner Bros., 1986
Were you one of many who, the first time listening to those great opening lines by Paul Simon in the title track of his 1987 Grammy® award-winning album wondered, ‘What’s that all about?’ Simply, the nickel-plated National Guitar (vintage or new, as shown in the image at right) shines like, well, the Mississippi Delta on the day that inspired Simon’s masterpiece. And National Guitar thumb picks have the same level of quality in their creation, particularly the tortoiseshell picks that are crafted of a high-sheen resin.
