finger picking

Finger picking is a technique that can be used when playing the gutiar. Instead of using a guitar pick, you use your fingers to pluck the strings.


..and if you understand some music terminology:
As there is only a treble cleff for guitar notation UNLESS it is a bass guitar, when using the finger picking technique you can 'imitate' bass AND treble because you can pluck more than one string at a time. You can then play a song with rhythm and melody, as opposed to what you would usually be restricted to playing with a regular guitar pick (chords, and solos).

Docker Picking

A Yorkshire, England term meaning; collecting cigarette tab ends to have when one is out of tobacco.

My girlfriend was raging mad, acting like some crazy, caged wild animal because she hadn't had a cig all day; I was down to a few pence in change, so i went docker picking and came back with enough tobacco to last her until midnight when my dole went in and i could purchase a pack of proper cigs at the all night garage.
