how to play acoustic guitar with a pick?
I've only been playing guitar for about a month now but i can play a good bit of songs. the guy who's teaching me keeps pushing me to use a pick because he said it sounds better, but every time i use one, it sounds awful. it just feels loud and abrasive and doesn't make it sound better so i just keep using my finger. he's tried showing me how to hold it and I've even bought .46 soft picks, but still no good. any tips or ways to fix this problem?
Practice Practice Practice. A couple things - make sure you're not holding on to the pick with a death grip - there should be plenty of room for even a stiff pick to "give" a bit between your thumb and first finger. Also - when you play with a pick, it's going to be _much_ louder than you're used to if all you've ever done is strum with a finger. You have to dig in and go for it - don't try to play at the same volume for now (the ability to control the sound will come) . Third - Try strumming more toward the neck - farther from the bridge.That will also soften the sound and give you more "give" than playing up tight to the bridge. Fourth - when "strumming" with a pick, the motion needs to be more from your elbow and less from your wrist. Keep your wrist relaxed but try to make a consistent up/down motion from your elbow. Finally - I'd practice with medium picks for now. I never start students out with thin/soft picks because the transition is much more difficult later. I hope that helps you out. What would really help is if you could have someone video you and put it on YouTube - post back here and I'll critique exactly what you're doing right/wrong. Good luck.
