why use a pick over your fingers? (GUITAR)

not 100% sure if i can talk about instrument stuff here but whatever its close enough

why do a lot of people that play guitar play with a pick instead of just using their thumb

okay sure i might be biased cuz i started out on a classical (dont except much from me im not really good..)

i tried using a pick but its just too limiting and i prefer the tone of my fingers over the picks

plus you can feel the string with your fingers

but i wanna know about YOU personally think because i care about you and love you

take everything i said with a kilogram of salt, a guy with no limbs can probably play the guitar better than me as of speaking rn

it is different tones

Sounds too muddy for me if I use the pad of my thumb and I don't like using my nail for it either. Also a pick lets me go faster and it's easier to strum with a pick. Only exception is if I'm playing a song that needs fingerpicking.

about to start a new thread called "why use your fingers over a pick?"

i find that it allows for more precision (i suck so i still manage to play messy but its less messy)

also i have a jazzmaster so i find it hard to rest my fingers without knocking the guitar slightly out of tune

The pick has more attack and definition
