Pretty sure no, at least most of the time, the chorus is deffinatley fingerpicked so Id guess he pretty much always fingerpicks the whole thing

yo...on the main page tab of CS Kanter states that dave plays it with his first finger lower then the second finger...too me it feels really strange...anyone here play it that way and why?

read it again, he doesn't say that...he plays most with his first and second finger

I don't use a pick for this one, I'm not sure how you would for Christmas song.

Yea I have no idea how you would use a pick for CS. I think its alot easier just using your fingers. I use my first and fourth fingers for the verse and chorus then I use my first and second(third sometimes).

i find it easier using index and middle finger, as opposed to thumb and index because your thumb is a lot bigger and tends to hit other strings, at least for me. The skinnier the fingers the better IMO....and I have pretty skinny and long fingers!

well its not impossible. i use a pick to play the first three chords/notes/whatever and then i hold the pick with my middle finger and pick the G A Bm party. sounds much better to me
