Found a very handy tip. I use a combination of finger pad and picking like acoustic for different sounds and tones. Had a split finger nail and the fix was a cosmetic finger nail coating called SNS. I went to a finger nail shop and they did a clear coat on the two fingers and its awesome. Just like having a pick on each finger, but optional if you keep the length right. Needs to be done every 2-3 weeks but if thats your playing style, and you can bring yourself to sit int he nail shop with all the ladies, its a very good option

Picking Tip

I once super glued 2 - .5mm picks together. The glue didn't go all the way to the edges. Gave a double Clack sound when playing. I really liked playing with that pick! The nails sound very interesting !!! Pick a winner.
Just had them done again today. $10 and they last about 3 weeks. Well worth it.
