Hi,
Although I would not classify myself as good, I am not new to playing acoustic guitar, I can play quite a few chords, I can do fingerstyle, and can play quite a few songs. Here is the problem, when I used a pick to strum the chords they sound loud and terrible, but when I play by strumming with my fingernails the "music" sounds reasonable OK. I have tried holding the pick many different ways, tried different picks, nothing seems to work, so I go back to strumming with my fingernails.
Can anyone offer me any advice?
