If you don’t have fingernails, you will develop calluses on your finger tips that will produce a more pronounced tone. I prefer to grow my nails, but this is another way you could approach Fingerpicking :)
It doesn’t really matter you can hold a gu pic just like you can a flat pic and use the same technique I’ve been doing this for many many years I’d rather use my fingers and alternate them because it’s more faster rather than alternating a pic then then I still have my thumb to play guitar well so that’s highbred highbred I’m a highbred Fingerstyle guitar player myself and you say thumb pick and hold it like a flat pack so in reality there is no difference
Mark Brown, are you saying you hybrid pick by holding a thumb pick, like you would a plectrum with your index finger, and then use the other fingers to pluck strings? So then you can alternate between fingerpicking and hybrid picking?

I do not have fingernails... quite hard to match the volume of the pick..

@@acousticguitarlessons thanks for the response. I've not had an issue with volume using only fingers.

Guess I can not anker my pinky anymore??
@jasper_north, no, you should still be able to use the pinky for support with hybrid picking :)
