Dejan should give you the best advice for that but if the lesson is classical then it should be played with fingers on a nylon string guitar. There are techniques on electric guitar where you combine pick and fingers (hybrid picking) but that's different from classical music. Country, blues and sometimes rock players use that type of picking.

It is normal for a guitar player to mix both techniques, so using pick for some songs is good, and using fingers for some other songs (like for example classical stuff) is good as well. You can play on the electric guitar with your fingers as well, but it is good to start off with the pick. When you see a piece that you like that you wanna play with your fingers, just do it. Rock on mate!

Pick only, fingers only, pick and fingers,
everything is fine as long as you get the result which depends of the song/lesson of course. -------------------- Youtube

Anyway, i still only got the acoustic guitar and I wanne use that for practice until I got the most basic stuff before I go electric. So the basics are important and I'm still playing the scales of justice. I just want a solid basis on which I can build. U still suggest the hybrid method after my long story? As I said in the previous post, the kind of music you play will determine what picking technique you will practice the most. If you have a classical piece and you want to practice that, then fingerpicking is the right way to go. If you want to learn some music that it is better to use the pick that you will practice with the pick. Practicing both picking with fingers and with a pick is useful, regardless if you play on acoustic or electric guitar. If you think you will some day transfer to electric guitar, then you can start using the pick right away. The technique will translate later to electric guitar later. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
