Telecaster Guitar Forum - View Single Post - Just bought some thumb and finger picks. Now what do I do with them?

I love the sound of rockabilly guitar but I didn't want to give up my flatpick so I started learning 'hybrid picking'.

My nails had dissappeared after a day and I could get no control or volume with bare skin so I got some plastic fingerpicks. It took a couple of days to get used to the feel of them and a bit longer to learn some patterns and licks but now I feel a bit lost without them.

I like Jim Weiders DVDs - Rockabilly Guitar and Country Blues Electric Guitar for learning some cool licks.
