A question for the fingerstyle players...
Do you use the fleshy parts of your fingertips, did you grow you fingernails, or do you use fingerpicks? I've been practincing travis style and thankfully I'm getting better at fingerstyle playing. I've grown the fingernails on my right hand about 1/8", but I can't get used to having long(ish) fingernails. They get in the way of doing other things, and I find that I don't always use them anyway. I'm thinking of just clipping them off and sticking to using the flesshy part of my fingetips, although I have to admit that using fingernails does produce a cleaner, less muddy sound. I don't want to grow them much longer than they are, and I'm wondering if they are long enough to really be effective. Advice and opinions gladly accepted.
Thanx, Jim
