Hello and thank you Justin first and foremost.
I'm been learning finger style for about a month now and having two problems.
1) After plucking a string, when I go back in to pluck again, my fingernails are grabbing the string and it sounds terrible. I trim them completely and file them down after that. But they still grab. If this is a matter of practice it's all I need to know, that it will go away in time?
2) I very much prefer my thumb to pass on the inside of my hand, it does not interfere with my index this way, However I see a lot of people sticking there thumb forward like they're giving a thumbs up, this makes using my other fingers feel awkward. I prefer to former but it does place them at more of an angle, naturally.
Thanks in advance!
