Myself and I know it not as popular, but from my guitar pick time, I have always kept my fingers straight.
I am quite basic to tell the truth, but anyways for something like muting strings etc. to me always this approach just feels natural. I have wondered if there are any disadvantages, like sound produced, but I have not found reasons to change.
I have tried the more common approach of making a loose fist, but it just does not feel the same and free.
Did not want to make a poll, cause I would be in minor probably, but like to hear your comments.
I strum with thumb too down sometimes to get a different kind of sound. That to the other thread going on
