What do you think?

Boys are back in town by thin lizzy.

2 questions.

1) do you play it standard tuning of down tuned? the best tabs for this have been down tuned half a step.

2) pick or finger? my friend thinks pick i think finger? your opinoins please?

any help greatly appreciated thanks
 
Tuning down often makes it sound better, but you do not have to. It'll probably sound fine if you don't. I personally never tune down. There are many people who don't. As for using a pick or fingers, it's really up to you. Some people prefer using fingers while others prefer to use picks. It has to do with what's more comfortable, what's easier, and what's better for speed. So all in all, IT'S YOUR CHOICE. Rock on.
 
The legendary "Philo" was a pick player..I dont see the logic in tuning down to play the song live... I've played that tune hundreds of times over the years in different bands and it was always played in G
