Not a joke,,, Hide your picks. Break the habit of playing with them.

Years ago, many years ago.... In college, I was so broke, and lived in a town without a guitar store, long before amazon, etc... I was making pics out of old credit cards, or whatever.. Finally, I just decided to play without.

Now, I prefer to play without a pic.. I only use one for something specific... but there has to be a reason for it.

The "that's all right, and Folsom, etc.. Great suggestions... Thumb down bass notes, middle and index finger up roll, down roll,,, 3 note arpeggio fills..

No this is true for sure. I always fall back to a pick when I set out to try finger picking. After a while I just get frustrated and pick up the pick or just strum, with the nails of my thumb and index finger together.

I must really suck because I don't really hear the finger picking in either of them. lol

I actually love It's alright Ma but I've always played it with a pick. Not even sure how I would approach that finger picking.

fwiw a friend suggested trying Bring on the Night by the Police. I had totally forgotten about that song. Andy plays it so damn fast but it seems to be simple 3 note pattern.
