here is the thing...I HATE growing my nails long. And even if I DID like it I always bite them off when I sleep anyway (nervous habbit). My dad is a really good folk player and he uses these finger-pick things....I don't know what they are called but I'm sure you people know what I'm talking about. They are almost like little metal claws. I usually just use the pads of my fingers but I am told that that will severely reduce speed and I KNOW that it sucks for tone. So my Q is will those finger-pick things be sufficient for playing classical music?
