In reading this thread, I'm reminded just how "simple" a musician I am. I play two guitars, a vintage Martin classic (nylon string), and a steel string Washburn. I do NOT use either a flat pick or finger picks. I keep my fingernails in good trim. The ONLY thing I carry in my gig bag is one tuner, two capos, one for each guitar. That's it ... real simple ... just like me! bob(deckman)nelson
