Alrite whats the best technique for playing with your hand as opposed to a pick. I always used to totally ignore the hand playing technique and just use a pick all the time, but since my 2nd re-surgence of interest I have been making an effort to do both. The thing is Im not sure whats the best way when playing with your hand. Suddenly I managed to play it without it sounding ****. I sort of put my three fingers together and used the fingernails, downstroke is fine but have difficulty on the upstroke. Another way Ive tried it is just the thumb which seems to be better?
