Playing guitar with a pick feels unnatural and weird.
>>
That's why I use wooden guitar picks

mm good suggestion, i tried those and it had a different feel but still i cant find anything that quite matches the responsiveness and tone of a callussed finger. i just use my index nail if i need to "rock" it works fine for clawhammer banjo pickers too, guembri players from morocco, im sure other styles too

not playing with a pick feels weird

If you play spanish guitar, agree.

i play late 60s early 70s acid casualty freak burnout fuzz guitar

After 10 years of playing mostly with pic and a good chunk without i cant comprehend getting my top picking speed with fingers alone unless I just put thumb and index together like a pic but using the index and middle back and forth I dont see getting that fast

>>130286135
bass players got it right with the doritos pick

didn't ask

After using one for most of my life, I ditched the pick about 3 years ago. Now I just grow out the nail on my index finger. Whatever, I wasn't going to have sex any time soon anyways.

Really love the note articulation with the plectrum, but I found my style is better suited to bare fingers. Easier to palm mute, more dynamics, better rhythmic control.

what is that

Playing bass with a pick feels retarded, because it is.
>>
>>130287231
you should probably kill yourself
>>
>>130286135
Yeah I do, I don't just fingerpick either. But I have got fairly comfortable with pics as well. Big problem is I keep losing them
>>
>>130287304
Those are hard to control too wide for anything but chords and strumming
>>
>>130286135
I really wish I started off playing with a pick and proper technique. I’ve been playing with my thumb and using my fingers to anchor my hand the whole time and it has severely capped my speed.

It's quite literally impossible to play metal without a pick. And if you want there are three fingers available for hybrid picking.
>>
>>130286135
you need a pick to play fast also your fingers can get slashed a bit if you dont pick from time to time depending on how many hours you practice.
