Jerry Garcia Used several different styles of "picking" during his life. He was known to hold a pick between thumb and pointer while still using the other three fingers all at once! He also mastered the ability to use a false middle finger; his real one was lost in a wood chopping accident. Jerry also played without a pick and that stems from his roots as a bluegrass or "jug" band player.
