Playing with your index nail instead of pick ?


The title says it all. I found out I can play about 30% more accurate and around 50-80% faster while playing with my index finger's nail just like it's a pick. I even hold invisible pick between my thumb and index finger for extra control. It feels so natural and the way It should be I just can't stop. Is there a reason I shouldn't play like that all the time and just forget about picks ? I have pretty thick nails so when I grow it a little longer to let's say half of the flamenco guitarist's nails there's gonna be almost no difference in tone.

What do you think about that ? I've tried dozens of way to hold a pick and it always seems uncomfortable and "limiting".
