Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | It all depends what I'm playing. The adamas, to me calls out for a pick, but at times fingers do better, and for CA, fingers 95% of the time, but I'll take a pick to it. |

| I'm impressed there are so many fingerpickers. Real guitar players don't need to attack their guitars with bits of plastic. :p |

Location: Isle of Man, UK | Well, I voted flatpick, as I do the vast majority of my playing with a pleccy.
However, I do fingerpick on occasion, although only usually at home for myself - it's a style that rarely gets gigged! Currently in the Knopfler style due to no tuition, and making things up as I went along (two fingers resting lightly against the top), although I think that I need to completely change this to do the Rock and Roll thing properly!
As for the third choice... no comment. I'm just off to clean my computer keyboard...

I was giving it my best shot at just using fingers. But the dang guitar was just too tough. So now, although I voted fingerpicker in the poll I do confess to augmenting my sad maniciure with Alaskapiks. Now my snooty little guitar fears me. Knowing even as I approach, that he/she will be plucked like pullet perfect for panfrying.
Plastic...what're you talkin' about man...there's nothin' wrong with plastic!!!!
Excuse me now, I must be off to an appointment with my Manicurist... |

Flatpick for some, thumb fingerpicks sometimes, and some are just butter with just your fingers. |

Location: Central Florida | Again, it depends on the song, but mainly I play with a flat pick and fingers. I learnt to play that way from seeing the same skinny kid from Arkansas that Steve saw. I bet'cha he's the same guy that inspired Moody too! ;)
