Can you play fingerstyle on an electric?
A common misconception is that fingerstyle, sometimes referred to as fingerpicking, is limited to acoustic guitar, and of course, this couldn't be further from the truth – you can definitely play fingerstyle on the electric guitar!
Are power chords only for electric guitar?
Power chords are commonly played on amplified guitars, especially on electric guitar with intentionally added distortion or overdrive effects. Power chords are a key element of many styles of rock, especially heavy metal and punk rock.
Can you play power chords without a pick?
Sure you can! You'll need a little bit of nail on your index finger and thumb, but you don't need much. You pinch your thumb and index finger together as if you were holding a pick.
