I really struggled playing with a pick and either strummed with fingers or finger picked. My breakthrough came with the following habit. Anytime I went to guitar center I would grab a couple of their free branded picks they keep at the cash register. Pretty soon I had them in my pockets, in the car, around the house. I would not play with them – I would just hold them as if I was playing. Even driving the car. After about a month I could hold a pick as if it was an extension of my hand vs feeling foreign. I can now play with a pick with a lot more confidence. Give it a try!
