Most dobro players, myself included, use metal finger picks and a plastic thumpick. You did not mention what style dobro your playing, but I use a Scheerhorn steel for dobro and not a big ol' steel guitar bar. Of course if your basically playing steel guitar acousticaly, the big bar may work.
I think the plasic picks are made for nylon stringed players.

PS Don't milk the notes out of your dobro like you can with an electric steel. Dig in and make it work. They like it that way.[This message was edited by Patrick Ickes on 27 January 2000 at 08:06 PM.]
