It is utterly ridiculous to write a review about a guitar pick. But when given the opportunity, I had to. I ordered the Black Mountain Tagua flatpick on a whim. It looked kind of cool, and I thought I'd try them. The set of four I ordered arrived in a few days. I tried one and it was... weird. It was so FAT! It felt alien between my fingers, and I had trouble using it. I ended up gouging out one of the cork pads on the first one. That seemed to solve the issue well enough, but it was a little slippery without the cork on one side. I played it for a couple weeks until the slickness got on my nerves. So I decided to try another, un-mutilated one. It was amazing! It was as if the one I altered had given me "training wheels" and I could now use the undamaged picks comfortably. And I must say, they are without doubt the BEST F-ING PICKS I've ever used. Noticeably quicker, slicker, and more comfortable than any other pick. SIX stars out of five.

Arthritis in my hands and fingers have led me to search for a pick that I can control and hang onto. These picks, with their cork panels, are the best that I have found. I have no need to look any further. Nice sound on the strings, easy to manage. Thank you, Black Mountain!

I love these picks. Smooth and sweet tones as well as no flex or clicking sound

Worth the money! The cork feels comfortable under my fingers. The pick is firm but glides nicely across the strings. Makes a great tone.

Beginner guitar player that was having trouble holding pic these pics work great. But since have developed abilities to hold the pic. But these good for the then just pick holding.You could do much more.
