Picking is a method of Strumming!. (if your talking about using a pick)

I would suggest going to youtube and watch some instruetional videos on there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Both!. Lead guitar involves a multitude of techniques!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Lead guitarists tend to pick/fingerpick, while rhythm guitarists tend to strum!. But that's more like a guideline!.

Really it's all about the music and the sound you want, man!. Don't let it tell you what your role is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
