I’m pretty sure one of the articles about starting out said something about no picks. I could be wrong, I’ll read them again once the guitar arrives.
A quick search of the site doesn't indicate anything of the sort - though if you'd be following by learning classical/flamenco/folk then you'd not want to start with a pick. Given that you're getting an electric, that would nullify that and you'll almost certainly want a pick. Some do fingerpick electrics (common in blues and jazz) but you might as well learn to use one.
Okay will use a pick then. I’m sure it’ll be a while before I am actually playing anything I really want to play but I’m willing to put in the effort
I'll do what I can to keep you motivated. There's also the weekly guitar thread on Voat, but I'm not sure how you feel about participating there and I'd like to keep those threads drama-free. You're still welcome, obviously - but you'd be pretty much on your own to fend off the stupid people.
Hell, I get shit for posting here. LOL I don't give a shit. I said I'd help give the site content and I meant that.
