At this point in your journey, use a thin pick.
Thanks but Iām moving to module 7 full-time soon (meaning that Iām on module 6 but slowly getting the lessons of module 7). Iām gradually using thicker picks, Iām not a full beginner (well Iāll always be a beginner no matter the Grade
). Thicker picks is good for picking individual strings and also āenablesā the dynamic.
What about the fingers? I suppose this skill is useful for it but itās better to practice with a pick?
If you feel comfortable playing with a thicker pick, then thereās no reason why you shouldnāt. Find the one that feels best to you for the music you want to play. As for finger strumming versus strumming with a pick: thereās no ābetterā, all depends on what and how you want to play.
I suppose this exercise requires the right pick since itās purely about having the right feeling when strumming, no music related. Thin and thick picks are different. Same idea with fingers strumming, I think itās more of a pick thing, at least on the beginning. But please correct me if Iām wrong ![]()
The answer is the same: find the one that feels best to you.
