If it looks cool?
Well, thats a matter of personnal taste. I think it looks awful,
but since the advantages with long nails are so great, I still have 'em.

You can use a pick on for example the runs above, but if you instead
have this in front of you, you would be in trouble with a pick:

---------------------------0-------32-3-------------
---------1-0---0----0-31-1---3--3-----0--30------0-
--02---2-2--2----02-0----0------0-----------0--2---
4----04--0----------------------------2-----0-------
5------------------------3------2-------------------
---------------3----0-------------------------------

You could use banjo-picks, I've never tried it, but it might work.
(Banjo-picks are like long finger-nails of steel.)
