1. Yup, use only i-m.

2. I'm not 100% sure I know what you mean, which hand are you talking about?



[QUOTE=gusjDT]question.. What's the difference in playing when you have longer fingernails, isn't it worse, since the long nails are limiting your playing skills???

Well on the fretting hand yes, on the picking hand no.
The nails works as picks giving you more sound, more tone and greater control
than without long nails. It might look bad but it's a whole new dimension!
