Oh, it matters in terms of both tone and technique.
And when it comes to flatpicks, an Ultem pick has a more lively tone than a Delrin one (and real turtle shell is livelier still, but hard to come by).

@Eyedunno I'm just learning this. But, it seems to me it shouldn't matter which finger(s), or pick you use. It's the melody and strings your playing that count, not which appendage you use to strike that string.

I know, I'm kinda shocked. My idea of Travis picking uses at least the thumb through the ring finger, and sometimes the pinky as well - guess I've been wrong all these years. :P

he's a genius

Great!

One of the innovators of rock music.

I once was told my style sounded lik a modified Travis style! and I used to feel like I was short changin' myself, havin' not learned to finger pick with all my fingers.I pic with thumb and index finger,and this is the first time I've actually seen Merle do his thing! Now I have somthing to aspire to! Thanks for posting!
