| I wonder, if I´m the only guy, who plays with a flatpick and two fingers (no fingerpicks). Are there any other guys, who play that way and what do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of that style? |

I believe James Burton plays dobro with a flatpick and one fingerpick on his middle finger (same way he playes regular guitar).
I think Junior Brown plays his GuitSteel with flatpick and fingers (or fingerpicks?).
And yes, Tut Taylor definitely plays dobro with a flatpick.

| I thought I remember reading somewhere that Freddie Roulette and Jimmy Rivers play with their fingers/no picks [This message was edited by Kevin Ruddell on 03 May 2004 at 07:56 AM.] |

You sir, are not alone. Per Danny Gatton's blazing telecaster technique, I also play wiht a flatpick, and my middle & ring fingernails. Allows for unparalleled speed.
I use this technique on electric/acoustic guitar, banjo, and steel. (My nails cant take the damage, so I get acrilyc extensions, and some funny looks from people...)

Years ago in South Carolina, I had just gotten a nice push-pull and a Webb amp, and I was playing at a festival with my shiny new stuff and saw a fellow in bib overalls, barefoot, playing a Maverick with a flatpick and just tearing it up. That was one of many incidents that made me realize "it ain't about the gear"...
