for those who dont use a pic

So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

Yeah but when I play it I use alternative picking and play a lot of notes, maybe to many real fast, how do you get your finger to play those quick notes?
I kinda use my index fingertip/ nail like a pic. I don't pick the notes out exactly.
good, and you?

yeah...i use the index fingernail too. i dont like how jimi thing sounds without a pic, so i use one there, and crash sometimes as well, but that's about it. everything else i can strum a lot more free without a pic. when i do, i either use fender heavys or dunlop .73's

I take every gif I watch (which is A LOT) with a humongous grain of salt. But I don't let that grain of salt get into my eye and blind me to whatever truth can be found in what I'm watching. He is not any worse than any other poster here, and the people who claim he is just don't know what they're talking about. The demonization has gotten ridiculously out of hand.
