The "approved method" is a bit difficult for me. My pinky is usually the one that stays dead. i do use a thumb pick, but my index, middle and ring finger work pretty well when my nails are long. Finger picks give me trouble with speed, so I keep the nails on my right hand a bit long. i usually cover the top 3 strings with my thumb. 3rd string/index, 2nd string/middle, and 1st string/ring. Not exactly perfect technique, but I get good speed and accuracy this way.
