due to complaints the full question for those not able to work out the meaning: WHAT TECHNIQUES DO YOU USE?

i put it in caps so its easier to read, you poor poor people.

sorry for the miss-spelling of the question in the poll part of the post.

I like all of em' but carrots make my strings smell funny, and they wear down too fast. If you want the bestest tone ever...try string cheese however you should stay away from the 2% cheese, unless you want that “not quite right” sound. My personal fav is the crusty choc-o-nub technique. That’s when you dip your plucking hand in melted chocolate, air dry then flail away note.. this works best when you dip your fretting hand in peanut butter. It gives you that Reeses tone that everybody loves

depends on the song. I use all the styles and even with picks, I have a handful of different ones for different songs, moods that my hands are in, or hardnesses for action, and it can even vary on the venue. And to get the best tone, fresh organic carrots are where it is at.

That is a very bad typo.... and this topic has been covered 100 million times or more. Most people will tell you this "It all depends on the sound I want, or the type of music I'm playing". Or, they will just all choose carrots, which is my choice. Fresh carrots, straight from your grandmothers garden.

Ohhh, I just read the question more carefully.. Multiple answer... that makes more sense.. But still, I only use carrots straight from my grandmothers garden.
