two main bodies consisting of either metal or plastic, either bent or extruded, so as to fit on specific fingers of musical
artisans of stringed instruments;
a first part of said device formed and specifically designed for use on the middle finger of a musician's finger picking hand,
either the right or left hand;
a second part of said device formed and specifically designed for use on any one of the other fingers excluding the thumb,
but specifically the index finger, ring finger and/or the little finger;
said first part designed with a first wrap that embodies a gap on two sides of the finger; and

overlapping, such that said second part operates within a gap formed by said first part.
