Perhaps the dumbest and most annoying point of contention in all of guitardom.

Two techniques that produce very different but equally valid results. Actual guitar players don't engage in this same stupid debate. I have yet to be told I'm not a "real" guitar player because I use a pick instead of just finger picking everything. It's redonkulous!

Is Stanley Jordan a guitar God, or a total hack?

Lyndsey Buckingham calls shenanigans!

It's all interpretation. Yes's Roundabout would not sound the same using fingers. Tommy Tedesco used a pick even to play classical guitar. Session leader wanted him to use fingers. He used them to show that he could. When the recording session hit, he played with a pick.

My posting is comedy because bass players will usually argue the concept.

Indeed. Not saying it isn't a funny post, just bitching and crying about bass players that bitch and cry. :)

John Taylor of Duran Duran is almost universally agreed to be a pretty bad ass bass player. On their really early stuff he played quite a few songs with a pick as he was young and hadn't fully developed his finger playing. Their classic song "Planet Earth" with it's quick, galloping bass line was recorded with a pick.

A few years in, he went to playing everything with his fingers. That song never sounded "right" when they played it live after that. He must have fallen victim to the pick shaming troglodytes. Apparently, he recently stopped giving a fuck and went back to playing that song with a pick during live shows. Alas, all was right with the world.

 
Sometimes I play fingers, sometimes I play with a pick. A pick can do things fingers can't, and vice versa. It's all good.
