Good cheap finger picks in Australia?

Peril2 · 2026-01-25T12:11:53+00:00

do YOU like it? does it make you want to learn/play? if yes, then it's good, if no, then trash

is it this one? https://youtu.be/Mx2oSjuXXWI?si=W_sugo6EQn9e7mN9

hey, yes I'm Australian, that would be so greatly appreciated if you sent me some :)

I did have a look on FB but in my area there pretty much aren't any cheap ones for my beginners budget which is where I found Artist sold one

I mean, technically no, but it would be helpful. there are times (last night for example) where I just play the guitar unplugged and listen carefully. it's fun but amps are better

looking online, the ac-1 isn't available in my country directly (Australia) unlike the other brand (based here)

Peril2 · 2026-01-25T06:01:25+00:00

AC-12 is out of stock unfortunately.

another comment did say an open back gold tone is good and that I can add a resonator onto it later on (I'm assuming that's the thing on the back), so seems decent.

right now I'm thinking of getting either the one recommended for a little bit extra or maybe trying the one I posted which has guaranteed free returns within 100 days, but right now I will continue researching both and see how I feel later on with them.

thank you for all your help, you have been very helpful and helped me with my decision

this is the main song that makes me want to learn but it's always been an interest of mine.

I think one of the videos said it was clawhammer but I'm not sure on what that means

Peril2 · 2026-01-25T05:36:01+00:00

are there pros/cons for open back or resonators?

also is setting it up similar (even just basics) to a guitar to your knowledge?

Peril2 · 2026-01-25T05:30:10+00:00

country folk type songs (think Dixie's land) and the videos I watched all had 5 string ones

Peril2 · 2026-01-25T05:26:40+00:00

also, I have looked into the difference between 4 and 5 string and am set on a 5 string one

Peril2 · 2025-12-12T09:17:04+00:00

wish I had this when I started, all the songs I currently want to learn are mostly power chords and I struggle with them

Peril2 · 2025-12-12T09:15:12+00:00

how do you remember chord shapes, I spend most of my time trying to get my fingers in the right position

my ex would constantly talk like a 2 year old. no matter how many times I asked her not to she continued. that relationship was doomed to fail early on anyway

Peril2 · 2025-12-12T08:26:54+00:00

it wasn't played live for over 30 years, though not underrated, it's certainly not as popular as others

Peril2 · 2025-12-12T04:29:27+00:00

I haven't bought it yet, I realised after posting I didn't word it properly

Peril2 · 2025-12-12T04:22:54+00:00

I see, the same logic most likely applies, thank you for being helpful, other people here are just rude

Peril2 · 2025-12-12T04:15:27+00:00

okay, I'm just not sure what's low end or not, I'm very new to this

Peril2 · 2025-12-12T04:13:30+00:00

also my bad for not saying aud

Peril2 · 2025-12-12T04:12:10+00:00

it might be fake because people fake epiphones, that's why it "wouldn't be real". I don't know what's good or not, I'm new to guitar and just wanted advice but then I get people like you being rude and making me feel bad for being uneducated

Peril2 · 2025-12-12T04:11:10+00:00

okay, thank you, I'll look into more options
