If you are, like most of the world, right-handed-----cut your fingernails on your left hand short, and let your fingernails on your right hand grow, reasonably, of course. The right handed fingernails become the ';picks';. If you're a southpaw, do the opposite.

you should grow your nails if you want to fingerpick clearly


or you can but fingerpicks from a guitar store


i suggest that the fingernails just barely go above the tip of your finger because if your nails are too long, then its not good
