To me finger picks seem clumsy because I can't tell by feel where the strings are but I found these on amazon.com and I like them a lot.. http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Finger-Picks-Guitar/dp/B000NGVQKO/ref=sr_1_7?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1390695871&sr=1-7&keywords=finger+picks

I wound up switching to frailing but when I go back to bluegrass, I'm sure going to use these..
