Alaska Piks Review Description:

Classical guitar finger picks... is that allowed?

Can you play classical guitar without nails but still get that natural nail sound by using finger picks?

It may be controversial to even mention the idea of guitar finger picks in the world of classical guitar, but the answer to both of those questions is yes.

This week's lesson is an Alaska Pik review video:

  • I'll share with you my experience of using classical guitar finger picks called Alaska Piks exclusively (and in professional settings) for about ten years
  • I'll explain and demonstrate the technique for how to use Alaska Piks (it takes some getting used to)
  • And I'll perform some music for you so you can hear how finger picks can sound just like nails if you’re careful.

And lastly I'll run down a pros and cons list as a summary about using classical guitar finger picks vs nails
