From: GUEST,Bruce Baillie "I'm with my mate Tony Taffinder on this one, don't bother, cut your nails short and use your finger ends! it's far simpler and just as good. The ends soon get calluses just like the ones on the fingers that hold the strings down and you don't have to wear silly bits of paper on yer finger ends!"

Seconded - I don't know what the big deal is about using picks or false nails, etc. If you need them to make the guitar heard when unplugged, get a bigger guitar!
