I tried them out and was very disappointed in them. I keep my nails very short and I have no problems fingerpicking, even on 12 strings and mandolins. Try them out, but know that you don't need to do anything, I've never felt impeded by not having long nails or finger picks. | |

As mentioned from Kirk A there are rest stroke and free stroke when playing classical guitar. Are there any comparison (sound samples) of it? I am really curious as how it should sound correctly. | |

You don't even have to quit biting, there is still plenty of nails on your fretting hand. In addition, keep a nail buffing block with you at all times. When you have an urge yo bite, buff instead. You can tell I have that particular problem too. Only if this for some reason doesn't work, consider the alternatives. | |
