You Can't do This With a Pick! - March 5th

Janea always asks very good questions. Today's big question was, "why do you play with your fingers?" The simplest answer is that you can't do what I do with a pick. I hope that my demonstration speaks for itself.

As for strumming - I think that is cool too and there are definitely sounds a pick can make that fingers can't, but I think that there is a lot more benefit to be had from starting with finger-style, especially in the early stages since the possibilities are almost limitless.
