  • How to play guitar without a pick for beginner. 5 techniques to make you sound good!✅ Try Lauren's FREE Crash Course for Beginners: www.laurenbateman.com/crashcourse - In this video I am going to go over 5 different techniques for playing the guitar with your fingers. Many students prefer to strum the guitar with their fingers but I often times find that beginner players choose this option because they find using the guitar pick hard.
    If that's you, don't give up on the guitar pick yet! But definitely watch this video to learn about the different sound you can get out of strumming your guitar with your fingers.

    I've been an electric bass player for almost 20 years; I've only just picked up the acoustic guitar in the last few lol. I've always been a finger stylist and I love that you've given the finger style some validation!!! Thank you for another great lesson! ❤😊

    I like using my fingers.. but lead I use pick and I Travis pick too. Yes, I hate the pick noise...falls spins... drops out of my finger picks need better human factors engineering design and a thin pick when I do use it. I use my middle finger to pluck index to strum and grow my nail a bit longer so I can alternate pick on lead... I got it down to a science...good video

    Very good lesson,lots of sound advice.i always encourage my students to grow thumb nail for both strumming and thumb picking.

  • @davidmartin7660
    @davidmartin7660 4 месяца назад

    I have used fingers pretty much forever unless I’m using a guitar in large groups. Three things I have found: keep the nails trimmed well, it’s easier for me to find the string I’m looking to play, need it for songs combining both strumming and finger picking.

    Yep .43mm was perfect for me .34mm was to thin I found if I'm going to be shredding some pentatonic I like a quit thick pick. Though over all I'm a thumb strummer but there are some song that need a pick to play the sound sweet. Thanks again Lauren I can only play because of your great teaching. Latest I learnt is under the milky by the church😊. P.S. I've had to buy emery boards to sand side of thumb and nail use to bite nails bad so had some custom work needed on thumb😅😅. And upgraded to $700 Takamine G-series it makes playing so much more satisfying❤

    Hey Lauren! I really needed to see this lesson!!! Thanx for doing it!
    It's resolved a lot of questions and doubt I've had about strumming and using my thumb/ fingers instead of a pick (all the time).
    What I still don't remember and unsure of - that the camera doesn't show is on the down/up strumming are you you strumming all 5-1 strings while picking the 6th string with your thumb (and index finger)???
    Since we're not in the room with you - is there anyway you can have a camera angle or zoom really close in so we can really see your fingers at the strings?
    Maybe it's just me... 🤔🤷🏾‍♀️
    Thanx again for this one!!!

    • @LaurenBateman
      @LaurenBateman  4 месяца назад +1

      You don’t get all the strings on an up strum. Maybe bottom 3 or 4.

  • @deanom6183
    @deanom6183 4 месяца назад

    Using finger strumming allows you to sing better over the sound of the guitar. The pick makes a louder sound and harder to hear vocals without mic.

  • @mikemoodie
    @mikemoodie 2 месяца назад

    Mastering the pick is damn hard, much harder than people realise. Especially when you're mostly thinking about the upcoming chord change. But a well-strummed song with a pick sounds amazing. I'll keep on bashing away and hopefully sound better eventually.

    I used to go in a local coffee shop with hanging guitars. It was then I decided, I never wanted to be vulnerable without a pick again. Living in an apartment environment is great with fingerpicking. I had to buy an electric guitar to practice my pick strumming (it’s rather quiet)

    It just comes naturally to use my fingers. I can use a pick but something inside me tells me to toss it. Lol. There are great players that don’t use picks. Like when I first saw Jeff Beck I was amazed. I do like using picks too

      I am the same way. I can’t seem to use the pick to save my soul. And, I am happy to use my fingers, but I hurt my thumb. Because the string kept coming between my skin and my finger nail. So I tried to use the pick and I am inept.
