Not sure about Dave but I use my thumb and finger tips ,depends on your guitar action you can get finger picks if you want its trial and error to find your style .just my 2 bits .

Do you use your finger nails to pick or just fingers, what do most people use?

Beautiful playing and sweet vintage tone!! Two strings!! You don't even need the other two!

That's some sweet playing on a fine looking guitar!

Sounds fantastic, looks amazing and totally shocked when you showed it only has two strings on it. Really full sounding and rich. I'd have believed four strings but two strings sounding like that blows my mind. Great stuff Mr Lynas!

Sounds great Dave!

Thanks Wes, firewood piled high, but still green wood. My woodshed has dry though, so the cozy will continue. Thanks Erasmo. Now she's got four strings and sounds great. Still filing nut slots. Today I'll be fretting this baby. Thanks Tinker. Thanks Dennis. Thanks Richard. I grew up West of Minneapolis on Lake Minnetonka. Great place to grow up. I was on or in the lake summer and winter. You should visit. Come home Richard! Thanks James. Thanks Pick. Wearing your shirt helps build good guitars.
