@jrick92 it definetly takes some practice to become smooth and fast

@rinny51    It just looks to difficult to me.

I’m getting better but man it’s slow. 

@wjssavhotmail-co-uk can you finger pick with just your hands and no pick? If you can do that it’s pretty much just getting a rhythm going.

I just use my fingers mostly trying to train my brain to the the thumb pick. 

@rinny51 Yes but being a Joiner by trade i have short finger nails causing a dull sound when playing.

@rinny51 It looks so difficult but i must give it a go, although its difficult to teach old dogs new tricks 🤣 

@wjssavhotmail-co-uk  I also have short nails but with practice you can improve the volume without using long nails. Long nails make too bright a sound in my opinion.

@jerseychicadee  Hybrid picking will quickly expose any weak or buzzing frets.

I think it is helping me become a more accurate with my fretting/placement. The dog hasn’t been giving me the side eye as much. 

I don’t use my finger nails when finger picking. I pluck the strings with pad of my fingers.

My finger nails have never been strong. Very thin. Break easy. Not meant to used as a tool by any means.
