Hi There @DanielC , I have tissue paper fingernails so I am a pad player. I have integrated into my FP lessons a component of Dynamics training. Tony Polecastro did an interview with Pete Huttlinger (it is on the Acoustic Life web page) before he passed and one of the things Pete talked about was playing as loudly as he possibly could and quietly as he possibly could. I found this develops my mind muscle connection to the strings. In practice I explore the extremes, not that I would ever use that in playing but it helps calibrate my touch so that when I want more volume I can get it at will. I tried plectrums but gave up on those fairly quickly. It didn’t feel right for me. That said If you have not tried those give ’em a go and see what you think. You may find they are exactly what you are looking for.
