Ok, so I was messing around with AC/DC's Rock n Roll Ain't Noise Pollution.....

I prefer the sound in the intro when finger picking the progression, but switching to a pick mid way to get the crunchy sound afterwards is frustrating. So I decided to use my middle and ring finger to "finger pick" the intro so I could keep the pick in place for the switch.

It worked ok but I noticed alot of fret buzz. I am sure I am doing something wrong but I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. Anyone have any tips here? Its new to me so I am sure thats part of the problem but are there things specifically to look out for?
I use heavy strings, tune low, play hard and floor it. Floor it. That's technical talk.
