Answer 1

check out derek trucks on you tube he plays fingerstyle, he's awesome also check out tommy emmanual, and then on the other side of the coin check out SRV played mainly with pick but also played hybrid, pick and fingers, clapton plays both styles, it's personal preference. I like both, and try to play both. Gary Rossington plays hybrid, steve gaines played hybrid the list goes on, you get my drift.

Answer 2

The only musicians i have ever seen that don't use a pick have played either folk music, country music, or classical music. Pretty much everyone else uses picks, but it all depends on what style of music you want to play.

yeah dude most famous people like joe satriani/steve vai/angus young/slash/jimi hendrix/zaak wylde and eddie van halen etc.all use picks if u have money than get a really good teacher like joe(satriani) and he would make u heaps good but if your not rich than just go down to your local music shop pick up tab books and learn using tabs tabs are really easy and you can also get the off of websites like (look below) yeah i use those and i play guitar so yes use picks DEFINETELY and **** that class up the *** and walk off they suck if they use hands so chill out
