BTW: Thanks for the replies guys You know I thought not using a pick was weird until I read a Guitar World interview w/ Lindsey Buckingham who said he never used one either & ya'll know I love the Mac! But, I think for "campfire" songs it would be good - just picking the bass notes is awkward!
PS; I won't bother Neil w/ another question but somebody might know - is he classically trained? His knowledge & technique seem to reflect that.

Barb- it seems like Neil's background is far from classical although he did drift back toward classical and Renaissance (lute music).

Here's his interesting bio:

Nope like me he doesn't spend all his time on the Forums but does a bit of research lol. Neils original site has a lot of good info

I read his original site a couple of months ago. Its getting a bit long in the tooth. and I'm not sure I'd want that much info on my children posted online.
