got a thumbpick....

trying out a thumbpick to use as a regular pick, or plectrum...!  Also wanted it to go with my metal finger things for picking.  what do they call those things?  banjo dudes use them a lot.  anyhoo, i have some, but didn't have the thumbpick, so I got one today.  A National medium.  I'll see it works as a pick for blues.  So far I like it -- just gotta get used to a different feel.  Maybe it will eliminate the pain in my thumb joint I get after using a standard pick for too long.   ah, the aches and pains of gitar!
