I've been dealing with some mild carpal tunnel for a number of years. I'm right handed, so I strum and pick notes with the fingers of this hand. Lately, I've not been able to grip the pick because of numbness and tingling in my thumb and fingers. I have never used a thumb pick before, so I was wondering if switching to this type of pick would help in allowing me to continue playing and practicing? Since I play mainly rock and metal how much of an adjustment would it be to go from playing with a regular pick to a thumb pick?
Thanks.
Thanks.
