play your standard barre chords and then pick them with your finger.

a great tab for fingerpicking: Kansas' Dust in the Wind

I palm the pick for most things except leads and power chords.

I fingerpick chords, strum chords with fingers (a flick of the wrist) and will pluck chords (kinda like a harpist) on acoustic, electric, strat, any guitar.

kohn, it's a great technique to add to your arsenal, you'll find that it gives a different tone and you can get different rythmic variations playing with your fingers.
