Pretty sure no, at least most of the time, the chorus is deffinatley fingerpicked so Id guess he pretty much always fingerpicks the whole thing

Yea I have no idea how you would use a pick for CS. I think its alot easier just using your fingers. I use my first and fourth fingers for the verse and chorus then I use my first and second(third sometimes).

i find it easier using index and middle finger, as opposed to thumb and index because your thumb is a lot bigger and tends to hit other strings, at least for me. The skinnier the fingers the better IMO....and I have pretty skinny and long fingers!
