Yeah, thats the longest post revival I've seen in a while.
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

for me a lot of the stuff i play uses a lot of strumming, so im pretty particular towards using a pick, if i want to play individual strings while strumming i just palm mute or mute the strings i dont want to hear, it make not be as melodic i guess a fingerpicking but i guess its all about your own style
