Not even glue on nails either, reason being, i want to be the best fingerpicker i can be without nails (even if that still wont be very good), as my main instrument is electric and id like to fingerpick and tap at the same time on it, as well as learn classical pieces to get my sheet music reading up to snuff. I cant tap without trimmed nails, and tapping is a huge part of my style (no annoying eddie van halen crap - more of a pretty sounding mathrock kind of thing)
Pretty sure the normal technique assumes having nails to get a clear enough sound, and that there'd need to be a technique adjustment to get similar enough power out of flesh.
From what i could find on google there have been a small handful of famous players or composers in history that despised nails and preferred the sound of pure flesh...
Any advice, videos, tips?
I used to be decent with classical in school for the year and a half i was enrolled in highschool with my major in classical guitar (an art focused magnet school, i just barely managed to learn classical technique and sheet music reading enough to make the cut, starting 9 months before my audition. The fact that i had already played guitar for years prior sped up the learning process) but when i got kicked out of there for behavior i foolishly never touched anything but electric, and now 6 years later all that muscle memory is gone
