I am starting to like playing my electric with no pick. Although I
play through a 15 amp practice amp (got a Boss DS1 too I am able to
pull some nice (to me) sounds out with my fingers.. I am a real
beginner though, so I don't have a lot to compare to. When I watch my
G3 CD I get a little idea.
It's funny. With all my rock and roll background and I worked around
music a lot as a vocalist, I never really paid much attention to the
individual sound or feel of different guitars. I heard them, but never
really listened, ****es me off now as I had so many opportunities and
willing teachers when I was a kid.

I think Mark Knopfler is a great example of nice touch with
bare fingers. *Also check out Dereck Trucks if you get a
chance to see him. *I caught him a few years back opening
for Eric Johnson at a local club.

Where are you? Dereck Trucks plays local clubs in the Atlanta area
alot, he has a place here.
