just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
I have yellow, orange, green and white. But if you asked me the difference between the green and white, I'd struggle to tell you because it's very minor. They both feel as rigid, whereas yellow is the most flexible and orange sits between yellow and white
At Fred Kelly Picks. com you can get a pack of 24 (assorted colours, gauges etc). But be carefull when ordering as they do them for right or left hand. No joke, it's a fact and it does make a difference fit-wise
I dont have very big thumbs, but like to wear them up close to the joint

Where are you based? If you PM your details I'll pop yellow, orange, green and white in the post. They're all medium
thanks for the offer - they sent "regular" which I guess is medium.................. I'll see how I get on with these, and might order "large" ones (that's the only two sizes I can see at Eagle Music)

Gone for the "graded" but TBH I think yellow is the one for me

may well be my last attempt with finger picks - fingers crossed!
Pity there isn't a local shop that stocks them so you can try for size
Ive got some somewhere, the metal just didnt feel "comfy" for me

WRT fingerpicks, tried the Alaska picks years ago - and again, just too uncomfortable, you still need an amount of protruding nail to get the "grip" for the "blade" and that amount I can pretty much play with anyway
(dont ask what the #5 is - its a stock image)

David Russell use a piece of ping pong ball on his 'a' finger. Not sure how it would work on a steel strung guitar but i guess anything's possible.
Out of curiosity, what catergory did you put me in? If it wasn't for the music courses and me hoping to go to music college, I'd use a pick, my finger nails, pads of my fingers, the side of my thumb even when I'm holding a pick, my fretting hand - as in use either the pads or nails on fingers I'm not fretting with.
