Hi rp…

Never had the luxury to protect my hands/nails. Too many tools involved, and my nails are rather soft (break easily).

So since I was 15 yrs old I've played fingerstyle in what we now call all-flesh style. I'll use a hint of nail once in a while for accents.

Interestingly I strum with nails.
