Hey, welcome!

Hooker set is a solid start I think, but don't get the acrylic locks. They are not very useful to learn picking, and break easily. I'd suggest getting a cutaway lock and a master lock 140. Real locks give much better feedback, and well teach you more.

Edit: assuming you're in the US, I recommend these picks to start: https://jimylongs.com/products/

They are made by a community members and well loved (and very very affordable). I suggest the round hooks, they'll make it easier to feel the pins.Also think about getting some Top of the keyway tensioners, I hear sparrows heavy bars are good)

Also, if you're into discord, consider joining the lpu discord. There are a lot of helpful people there, and you may find it easier to find help.

Good luck!

Very nice! What did you think of it?

It might help to change to position of your tensioner from the bottom of the keyway to the top. And more tensioners helps as well
