I normally play with nails due to being primarily a CG-ist. Wanting
to record some videos on my baroque guitar, because I'm away from
guitars for 4 weeks, and because a broken nail decided the issue, I
filed the rest away. First time in 31 years with no nails!
Well I found it makes the BG much easier to play little finger down,
and more appropriate sounding to me.
But dear me the old CG sounds and feels dreadful without nails, so they
are officially growing again from last Sunday night, when recording
finished.

I play the lute, archlute and vihuela with nails for the same reason
that I
play the classical guitar with nails: because it sounds better!
