@@Jonathanbonathan8 Same! I started playing the guitar since 2019 I think but then I stopped for 3 years and this May it's going to be 4 years almost but I started playing again since this March 2023 and until now I am playing the guitar and this time I got a guitar tutor now I'm happy :)) good luck to everyone who is playing the guitar don't give up we can do it! you can do it! ❤ believe in yourself ❤❤❤
According to me picking and fingerpicking has got importance in its own way ,fingerpicking some classical songs makes it more colour and metal does not sounds that energetic without picking.
@@GeorgeRasoulisMusic I play Master of Puppets using fingerstyle from beginning to end and it does just fine. You can mute the strings and since the main guitar riffs are all in classic Hetfield downstrokes only mode, it isn't too hard to replicate with a muted thumb downstroke, though it is much more efficient to double thumb it. Double thumbing really makes Four Horsemen pop. On Seek and Destroy, I like to grab the strings very aggressively for the minor second trills and then use my thumb and pointer to get some pinched harmonics in the pentomic run in the signature riff. It really makes the riff sound extra aggressive, almost like you added a harmonic exciter and fiddled with the compressor to allow a more dynamic attack.... just using your fingers. Soloing... sweeps and rolls for days. Finger tapping is more ergonomic. Tremolo picking is the bane of my existence... but there are some excellent techniques for that as well, I just haven't felt the need to up that skill set. All in all, there is very little you cannot reproduce in quality and tone Even the tone and attack of the pick can either be replicated by using your nails instead of the pads of your finger, using finger picks, or just callusing up your pick hand enough and it will start sounding more like the attack of a pick. I don't know of a modern metal player that plays fingerstyle, buy listen to anything by Mark Knopfler from Dire straights to here just how versatile and dynamic and powerful fingerpicking can be.
@@krisspkriss I want to listen to it. Definitely Hetfield's riffs , won't sound the same with fingerpicking . Even his three fingers grip sounds differently and you need to downstroke everything.
I think that with finger-picking, it’s a lot easier to control the dynamics and comes more natural with the co-ordination between both of my hands, but significantly quieter than picking and also has a muddier tone. Maybe that’s due to the oils of the fingers?
For me using a pick has never felt right,it constantly wants to leave my hand,while finger picking feels totally natural,I hardly even have to think about it,I Like both but my flat picking needs help.. 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Try a Dunlop medium thumb pick!! They are incredibly diverse in their use, and some of the best fingerstyle/ flat-pickers in the world live by them, "Especially Travis/ Chet style enthusiasts". Examples: Tommy Emmanuel Chet Atkins Joe Robinson Richard Smith And many more!!
I choose to play fingerstyle not to play riffs but more idk how to say it pretty music like look up glimps of us joji fingerstyle guitar cover and watch that you'll get what I mean
The pick makes a huge difference. Thick with a rounder edge sounds softer than a lighter thin pick. Touch is another thing. Mark knophler had a very light touch while T-bone walker had a stiffer attack. I tend to use what the song requires. Nice guitar by the way.
Thing is they’re both in more of a fingerpicking style song in this (if you were to play a metal song chances are the pick would sound better as an example)
Having started out on a classical guitar i find finger picking easier. Not quite the same brightness you get with a pick but more flow to the ear. Tele fortunately seems to almost take that into account. The only fender worth owning is a tele. Nice1
I play in church with a keyboard player. I find I can only finger pick if the song is really slow or quiet. I pretty much use a plectrum most of the time.
when I was a kid I remembered someone I knew had finger picks that went around his fingers like a ring and the pick stuck out. Do people ever use those anymore? And what would they be called....
I think that lick sounds better with fingers. This doesn’t really sound like it was written for a pick. On the other hand, many songs sound better with a pick. Depends on what you’re going for
Playing with pick is limited. For example try playing the song “snowflight” with a pick, It would be impossibly difficult while it is actually one of the easiest song to play in classical music.
I play fingerstyle, but each have their limitations. A pick will give you a brighter and louder sound most always, but it's less controlled and harder to alternate with. Fingers are much more controlled, better alterations, but a warmer and more mellow sound.
You can use your fingers, but this isn't really a good representation of "fingerstyle" guitar. Since fingerstyle guitarists basically have 4 picks (most don't use the pinky much) they can play the melody & harmony at the same time like a piano -- something which is not possible with a pick.
Yeah. Ok. This Guitarist is obviously more comfortable with finger picking. You can hear it. And yes. Some things are better finger picked. And still some awesome Guitarists don't use a Pick. Jared James Nicholas (Spell 🤔). And Ritchie Kotzen

Both have their place
i wanna learn both tbh, i feel like my picking skills do need to improve in speed and in techniques and different ways of playing lol
@@destroysoloist samee
Same
My fingerpicking is really good but my picking is absolute utter shit, isn't picking supposed to be the "easier" of the two?
@@heavysaber9431 That's only for people who learnt finger picking after picking I believe
The finger picking has more soul, nice Telecaster by the way
It depends what music you play
Yep, grunge is straight pick
AGREE
Like literally has more soul in the music
Can you define what "more soul," means?
Finger style is cleaner and more precise but pick has a smooth feeling to it
for me its the other way around
Pick sound is more precise and cleaner
That's a brilliant looking guitar myan
That the most average looking guitar shape lmao
What the British
This is one of the many reasons why I want to learn guitar, you can play the same songs in so many different ways.
Have you started?
@@BRNOOB_ yeah briefly, I try to practice at least 15- 30 min a day. Still haven’t learned any songs though.
@@idrcookiez620 Me too started recently, around 5-6 days ago. But sometimes I accidentally mute a few strings in chords
@@BRNOOB_ this is my first day but same! but literally bro if ellie can do it in a apocalypse so can i

I feel that, it just depends on the song and the way you're trying to play it
Metal always sounds great only with pick especially if you play Megadeth, Slayer, Metallica, Black Sabbath etc riffs.

The sound of guitar so relaxing
Left out hybrid picking.. really the best of both

Agree, fingerstyle also comes more naturally to me. I always seem to struggle with a pick.
It depends what music you play
Yea I realized that when I first got my guitar, I think guitar picking adds like more … like idk rock??? But I think it’s just me

@@sandman1754agree, but strumming with a thumbpick sounds really clumsy (me anyway)
That picking sounds exquisite.

Heyy i just leanred the strumming version for glimpse of us any advise where to start fingerpicking in general
I just love finger picking, feels like those strings touches your soul when done properly.
Picking is craxy hard feel like I can’t feel the strings so I never kno where I’m at
It helped me to use a harder pic and then just practice a lot. After playing some scales it should feel easier
I recommend getting a thumb pick, imo they are easier to use than regular picks so maybe that can help.

My ears after this 🥰😍
My hand = dont even think about it 💀
Bro looks so much more comfortable w/o a pick
When you’re amazing, you’re amazing. Bravo!!!
Best of both worlds, hybrid pick!
I think I want to start finger picking because the note’s definitely come out cleaner especially on runs
Dude that neck is fucking beautiful
Amazing to watch
Sharp sound of pick
Always fingerstyle 🔥🔥🔥
Those fingers are absolutely beautiful 😍
I prefer finger style tbh, it looks much more beautiful
What’s the name of this song?
Thing is they’re both in more of a fingerpicking style song in this (if you were to play a metal song chances are the pick would sound better as an example)
I’m more of a flat picker but I wish 25 years ago I would’ve started with a thumb pick ,. In this video the finger picking is way more fluent.
Beautiful piece..
Beautiful
Having started out on a classical guitar i find finger picking easier. Not quite the same brightness you get with a pick but more flow to the ear. Tele fortunately seems to almost take that into account. The only fender worth owning is a tele. Nice1
I feel fingers really give it an organic sounding tone, almost like the true way to play.
FInger picking has a grounded sound but that's one the many highlights!
I am thrilled by both😙

i like all styles of playing and want to master them more equally
I play in church with a keyboard player. I find I can only finger pick if the song is really slow or quiet. I pretty much use a plectrum most of the time.
What the name of the song or riff?
I started with my fingers but for me the picks make a good sound and look cool 😂... But both have advantages in other ways.

Both sound good but the finger male it have a nice element to it
Fingerpicking all day. The tone hits different. More soul/chi/prana
uhh...I replace picks with soda tabs...Is it okay?
What do you call that sound the guitar makes when you are changing keys
Its 2 techniques for 2 different styles in my opinion. I can sweep with my pick but left to my own devices i'm 10/10 a fingerpicking machine
What type of style of playing the guitar is this? I wanna learn this style
what if you had nails?
It’s cleaner with pick
Similar to Almond Joy and Mounds, sometimes you feel like a pick, sometimes you don’t.
Both have a place
I'm for fingers in this example
On this song, I prefer finger-picking.
What’s the difference
Where can I learn fingerstyle
Finger picking sounds organic
Which song is this
What the differences??!
What song is that?
I use pick for struming and fingers for tabs
Finger picking has a rounder tone
What guitar model is this?
Guitarist who are advanced players often end up growing their nails to imitate the plectrum. Give me the plectrum most of the time! 😅
Nah imma do in own thing
“Hybrid pick “💀

Dawg I swear I cannot get the same sound with a pick that I get when I use my fingers, plus it’s more comfortable
I feel like finger picking gives more advantages.
tab or name of this song plz
Did you ever find out? I know this song but I can’t put a name to it
I think this video shows you that Gordon and Daniel should become a therapist
This guitar almost spoke
If you can do both.
Do both,
A lot
Finger picking sounds more natural than the use of picks
Naw , you couldn’t tell unless you saw it
@@tristan583100% false, the tone is so different especially on acoustic
one is more clear and that is what I want
The pick sounds cleaner
I feel as though fingerstyle's loads more useful if you wanna play fast. The regular old pick just feels slower...
Funny, I feel the exact opposite way. I suppose it’s just a matter of which one you do more.
more base and better ringing in finger picking
can I just use my fingers for picking or is it a rule to play with a pick?
You can use your fingers, but this isn't really a good representation of "fingerstyle" guitar.
Since fingerstyle guitarists basically have 4 picks (most don't use the pinky much) they can play the melody & harmony at the same time like a piano -- something which is not possible with a pick.
Both are limited by the conflicting flapping-fingers technique.
What's the guitar called?
Fender Custom Shop Telecaster with custom shop p90
Looked exactly the same to my untrained eye 😂
song??
Original riff by me 😊
@@YogiTheGuitarist riff please. I'd love to learn it. I'm currently learning how to play
Can someone enlighten me on the difference between the two pls? 😵💫
this means you're better picking
Both
Amp settings?
Use whatever is easiest for you, then maybe transition later
Yeah. Ok. This Guitarist is obviously more comfortable with finger picking. You can hear it. And yes. Some things are better finger picked. And still some awesome Guitarists don't use a Pick. Jared James Nicholas (Spell 🤔). And Ritchie Kotzen
is this a specific song or just messing around on it
I cant for the life of me seem to pluck w a pick yet
It took me 3 re watch just to understand what he meant😅
Timing is a big difference
Why do you have the same guitar twice?
I don't want to be the one to say it, but it's an edit combined one on top and one on the bottom. Have a wonderful day and I hope this helped.
I prefer fingerpicking sound
Pick is sweeter and smotter
why last almost sound like nokia?
Now what’s the difference 😢
what song is this 🤩🤩🤩
Just something I made up 🙏
@@YogiTheGuitarist 🔥🔥🔥
Well never really use Pick I play more Fingerstyle so I guess It will Say itself what I would choose
I prefer the top one I don't know why
