Back to normal again. I have started taking lessons for a jazz teacher I've gone to before. And we were going to play through Skylark and I couldn't find that third fingerpick (I know... ) so I decided to play without.

After the tune was finished I just sighed of relief and said "Man it was good to play without pick again!". My teacher looks up at me and says "Did you hear what you just said to yourself?" Maybe that's the way you should play if that'sthe way you feel".

And he's right. Whatever speed the picks gave me boils down to bad right hand technique. With a lighter touch I can get as fast without them, basically. I like the tone better without. I like the feel better.
