Is strumming easier with a pick?
Summary. Strumming is easier than fingerpicking or using a guitar pick, (at least initially) but both methods have their own difficulties that you have to figure out.
Why is strumming with a pick so loud?
First, sound is perceived when things bump around in your ear, which is generally caused by air bumping around. Moving your pick through the air therefore causes sound, and striking the strings is amplified by the guitar, creating even more sound.
