I’m not a huge fan of picks. However I’ve been pretty diligent using one for the past year or so. I just don’t want to limit myself, and do feel a pick is very useful. I still finger strum a lot. I am getting better with the pick. One thing I’ve done to improve my pick use is, try to have as little of the pick material exposed as possible. I try to have only 1/8 to 1/4 of the tip exposed. It may be difficult in the beginning, and you will hit your knuckles on the strings sometimes, but that’s OK. It will improve. The type and thickness of the pick is also important.
