So, apperantly, I can play pretty damn fast. I just picked up the guitar a few months ago, and I can play a few songs, but nothing fantastic, just your very basic rythyms, Stairway To Heaven, Jessica, Heartbreakers, but I can picks faster then anyone I know personally. I know two guys who have been playing for about 3 years, and dont use picks, just fingers, and they have fantastic finger methods.

So, is it good that I can play fast and OK with my fingers, or my friends can play great with their fingers and bad with picks?

there's is no better or worse. all you need to worry about is getting good and being comfortable with the technique that suits you best.

I used to play soleley with my fingers, and I remember playing really fast. But after a while, I moved to picking because there's more stuff you can do (unless you take the plunge to fingerpicking).

Honestly, play Crazy Train with your fingers, then a pick. You'll notice you can play the intro miles faster with your fingers.

It's probably a good thing that you can move fast, but can you do it while being in time? I'm a metronome nazi, So I ask anyone that thinks they play fast this question...

Are you saying you pick fast, or you can play fast, like this?
