Clayton Picks Cork Grip CG50/6 Guitar Picks

First off, my preferred pick, aside from this one, is clayton standard 1.00 mm. I like thick picks because I don't like how flimsy less thick picks feel when I'm really trying get into my music.My experience with this picks is mostly recording and just playing around at home, so I have no live experience with them but this is how they feel like when playing, from a guitarists perspective.the circle gives the thumb a natural place to settle, right at the perfect spot where your thumb isn't catching the string but not too far away as well. The cork material itself I've found to be fairly durable, in that I've used 1 pick for over 8 weeks and only a small chunk came off in the right side, and the pick of course was worn down from natural wear and tear. The glue seems to hold well, even through sweat and hard squeezing/playing.When heavily sweating, I had no pick slipping while playing. One thing I have noticed is that the cork has a slight give to it, so playing single notes sounds smoother and less of a pronounced pick sound (I like that). While strumming chords, this pick has more of a bounce on the strings and less of trying to push the strings, because of the slight cushion of the cork.Overall, these picks are not noticeably better then your standard, but subtle things about the cork make being in time easier for me, because I'm not worried about placement of my thumb on the pick, or slipping picks, it's always in the same spot and comfortable. Combine that and the average to good durability they've so far performed at, I'd happily give these 5/5,that's just my 2 cents.

It's a little too flexible for my tastes, but that flexibility does make this pick really useful for strumming, as I found when some kin wanted me to play some more traditional stuff for them. I got it for the cork back; years ago I had a much thicker pick with a cork ring, and it really helped me keep my grip. This back is no different. The pick is miles above some celluloid thins I have; they flew out of my fingers constantly, and the tip would've broken off by now. This does neither.I may order some more, but on the heavy end of what's offered.

Top 3 for the best pick I found.

I got way more picks then I thought I was going to get so that was awesome

I like a thin pick and I tend to hold them lightly, but that often leads to the pick flying away, endangering the eyesight of those on the front row. Well folks you can put away the safety glasses. This pick stays put! I don't know why I didn't come across these picks years ago but I'm happy to have them now. It also doesn't hurt that they have my name "Clayton" emblazoned across them.

I bought these picks for a friend to try while starting to play guitar and found them to be quite counter intuitive. The cork is glued on and in some instances can rub against the strings. The picks themselves seem nothing more than a standard pick in .50 mm or so. I put these in the bin as spares and have given away most of them to those who like the feel. The pick exposed in the middle of the cork throws me off and feels awkward. I tried to like them and get them to feel like a big stubby in terms of finger contour and picking feel on the high strings, but it never happened. It was back to dunlop tortex and Gator picks for me.

I love the Clayton cork guitar picks. I've recently broken by guitar out of the closet but with no callouses yet, I kept dropping the picks. I was surprised to see the selection offered on Amazon. I am planning on purchasing a thinner pick, so my mistakes will not be so obvious. Haha

I have to recommend avoiding buying this pick. While this is a great concept for a pick, the cork won't stick for more than a short while. None in the pack of six stayed together for more than a day. I can't imagine it's easy to get cork to stick to anything, and absolutely love the quality of Clayton picks, in general, but this idea shouldn't have been released to the public yet. At least I'm left with a good "regular" pick, which is why I gave two stars instead of one. I hope I can update with a more glowing review once they fix the problem!

Just using these for the first time and really enjoying them. Super grippy and sound great!

Muy bonita y gran idea la de añadir la arandela de corcho. Es un poco dura para lo que yo estoy acostumbrada con mi bandurria.
