finger picks

Thumb and digit

Finger picks are small plectrums that attach to individual fingers, used by guitarists, banjoists, and other string players to pluck with greater volume and precision than bare fingernails allow.

They typically clip onto the fingertips, while a thumb pick covers the thumb.
