@dandylover1@someplace.social In the classical guitar world, the discussion about "nails vs no nails" has been raging for ages. The purists will lean "nails" because that results in more volume, dynamic range and clarity. That discussion will probably still be going on next century. Fingerpicks on classical guitar however is a much more straight forward "not done." They get in the way of the tactile feel of the instrument, offer less precise dynamic control, and alter the sound considerably.

@cassana@the-crossroads-inn.com I'm sure nails is the proper answer. But being totally blind, I keep my nails short for ease of use, so I don't scratch/hurt myself or unintentionally ruin things, and on a completely different level, because I'm not feminine (obviously not related to classical guitar, since both sexes do it there).
