Proudest Monkey - fingerstyle?

Anyone know if Dave plays Proudest Monkey with a pick or with his fingers? Also, anyone know what songs, in general, dave plays with his fingers. Christmas Song and Everyday (at least the 911 tribute version) come to mind. I was curious if there were others. Thanks.

I dont know about Proudest Monkey, my guess would be no but Im not sure. I know he plays Grace is Gone and Where Are You Going with his fingers though. There is also a strummed version of Where Are You Going but he picks it sometimes too. Hope that helps a lil.

Yup Proudest Monkey is played with a pick , you can see that in for instance " Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds - Marin Civic Auditorium (3.14.99) "

Dave uses Dunlop Tortex .60 mm picks, Custom ones with "DMB" on them instead of the turtles.

He uses picks on most of the songs. He fingerpicks on the following songs:

All Along The Watchtower (just the intro sometimes)
Busted Stuff
Christmas Song
Everyday (sometimes)
Grace Is Gone
Heathcliff's Haiku Warriors
In My Life
Pay For what You Get
Waste (during the verses)
Where Are You Going (sometimes)

He uses a pick on all other songs.
