                                           REVIEW ERGONOMIC THUMB PICK.

I recently received a gift from my friend at SADDLE Thumb picks. The inventor of this thumb pick, Richard McVicker, worked for almost 50 years drafting patents for inventors and engineers. He found over time that the key of any design is the simplicity. At 46 he began playing the banjo and wondered why he had to feel pain on his thumb from the pick to play properly. Tired of trying to use the common selections he decided to invent a pick that would suit any thumb. The pick is one of the most indispensable guitarist tools, because it is the connection between the musician and the strings, and our sound depends largely on it. Many guitarists pay special attention to their guitars models, amps, effects, and even for some purists, the type of electrical cable used. However we cannot ignore that the secret of any great musician is the proper use of the body. Everything begins with breathing, and immediately the sound is materialized in the mind and translates physically through our lips, hands, or fingers. In the case of the guitar though of course an interpretation involving your whole body. The SADDLE thumb pick helps achieve muscle relaxation because it allows a natural approach to suit the particular physiognomy of the thumb. This translates into comfort or ergonomics when producing music and in turn affects positively the sound COMFORT = RELAXATION = BEST SOUND The thickness and hardness of the plastic used can project a warm and perfect personality to differentiate sound levels.It is a great invention. You have to try it, in a few minutes you will get used to the SADDLE Thumb pick.:
