I too am a great fan of Black Mountain thumb picks, which I use because of arthritis in my hand. A spring holds them in place. You have to learn to adjust the angle a bit for the upstroke ( a bit of wrist action), but it didn't take me long. However, everyone needs to find what works for them. There's no one pick for all.

Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
