Guitar Pick or Finger Pick

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.

I can play most every dmb song without a pick, and they sound fine. The stone took quite some time, but I now can play it and have it sound right without a pick. I play every dmb song without a pick. IM me, I'll show you that it can be done. I just have done it from the start, so I can do it easily. It is possible for anyone to do it, I think, it just takes time and no picks. I admit that when you are doing these huge high fast solos, it won't sound the same at all without a pick, but I don't do solos I am a rythm and fingerpick guitarist, I have no desire to play leads or solos.

But yeah, dmb songs sound just fine without a pick. Again, IM me, I'll show you.
