Can I play with a pick instead of fingers?

Picks are cool, but I strongly recommend that you do Beginner to Badass with fingers, because it’s harder to learn fingerstyle later than it is to learn it from the beginning.

My whole teaching approach is based around fingerstyle playing, which is an important skill for a lot of styles of music where a pick won’t give you the right tone.

If you use a pick for the course, you’ll be on your own for figuring out picking patterns, and muting your low strings.

But if you want to ALSO use a pick after you’ve learned some fingerstyle, go for it!

At the end of the course, I cover pick technique in detail in a bonus Masterclass video.
