Does anyone know how Mike plays the verse riff to Given to Fly? Is it all fingerpicked, or does he use hybrid picking (chicken-picking, as my guitar teacher calls it)? Thanks...

    go watch Single Video Theory. i recall that he finger picks the main riff while holding a pick with his pointer finger for the other parts of the song.
