Do I really need a guitar pick to play better?

Question: Do I really need a guitar pick to play better!?

I have a problem when playing guitars with a pick, I can't get a grip on them!. I'm used to playing just by using my fingernails as picks!. When I use a pick either, strumming or plucking, my strumming hands are uncomfortable, especially when I do a palm-mute!. So do I really need a pick!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hi SCD

Classical guitar players are incredible clean and quick and only use their finger nails!.
The advantage of that technique is for speed and cleanness!. A good bass player uses his 3 right-hand finger as picks!.
So go ahead!. You are not the only onoe!. I combine pick and the rest of the free fingers to do fast riff!. I support you !.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It depends!. If you feel better by using a guitar pick, then use it!. But if you feel uncomfortable, then don't use it!. It depends on so many people!. I use both!. But usually I play better by using a guitar pick!. It's all up to you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Everyone can play with a pick!.
You just need to practice!.
It's not hard, you just need to get use to it!.
Search some videos on youtube about palmuting!. And check http://www!.ultimate-guitar!.com/ , search for palmmuting!.

Well, if you're better with just using your fingers on the strings, don't use a pick!. And palm-muting is kind of tricky, so I wouldn't worry about it(:Www@QuestionHome@Com
