I can tell if I haven't practice in a while cause my fingernails need trimming. I think they can grow considerably fast if miss a couple of days and don't groom them. I always try to keep my left hand fingernails cut and filed very short, but I keep my right hand fingernails shaped like a classical guitar player would. My only problem is that my fingernails are thin and don't hold up too long they usually crack.

When I play without a pick I like to borrow the techniques from Flamenco players, even if I am playing an electric guitar.
