Great playing! You've got a little Skip James thing going there. I play bare fingered as well and love the tone.

I first came across resonator guitar when I met Chris Whitley back in the eighties. His playing really blew me away. He used a homemade, cut down slide and a ring slide and picks on all his fingers. It took me awhile to realize I wasn't and would never be Chris Whitley and I found my own bare finger style. I still try picks once in awhile but I guess they're just not for me.
