different style for different sound, cant really pick one.

Without you, it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces.

I'd have to say it depends on the style and song as well. I mean, like some country songs, you just couldn't strum the chords, they almost HAVE to be fingerpicked, or it sounds like a completely different song.
Then of course there are some songs you can use your fingers on, and some you actually need fingerpicks for.

Well apart from the different styles......I'd have to say finger picking because I can sound a lot faster when I do it, and it comes out more clearly whenever I do it. But I do enjoy playing a single string very quickly with a pick......

I learned to play without a pick, and I've never really taken the time to specifically develop that ability, so I have to say fingerpicking.

| Yeah, I understand what some of you are saying. Like I could never play Chatterbox with a pick, but since I learned to play most Dave Matthews songs with a pick, that's all I play those with. |

Its all on the song, 60% of all my music uses
a pick, whereas there's a good 40% that goes without, that's just a random guess. at shows, i pick it up, set it back down, pick it up,
set it back down.... on and on... it just depends. some of my songs
use both, i have a pic holster on my strap, so i can toss my pick down and fingerpick, then grab another when the times comes.

I'd probably have to say fingerpicking, I am not quite sure why, one of the first "complex" things I learned used fingerpicking. I am just now getting use to using a pick.

try doing the wrong thing with the right thing?
try playing faster finger picking, and try picking with a pick?
you can do anything, anyway.
personally i like playing without a pick, on acoustic. Just how I like to play on acoustic, unless im playign some kind of fast salsa style.
