I finger pick using fingertip soft pads, on both nylon and steel and I know there are quite a lot of use doing that. -- 86.54.181.194 ( talk) 10:45, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
It's great that somebody contributed an article on "guitar picking," but the article, as it stands, has a good number of issues.
At any rate, the range of styles covered by the examples should be broader.
It's a start, but it needs work.

There is a merge tag on Chicken picking. Any reason why? Hyacinth ( talk) 16:05, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
There is a merge tag on this article for Tremolo picking. Any reason why? Hyacinth ( talk) 16:06, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
The title might be too specific for what the article is attempting to encompass.
For instance, it contains hammer-on and pull-off, which are certainly NOT picking, any more than standard fretting is picking.
When I go to guitar playing technique (referred near the top of Tapping), I get routed to Guitar picking. There's no sensibility to make "picking" the sum-and-substance of guitar pedagogy, as though a guitar is a one-handed instrument, or at least doesn't need to consider the stopping/fretting hand.
The word
technique not being defined, it sounds impressive, but really it's nothing more than "a procedure to complete a task" so might just as well be trick yet even that implies something complex and/or difficult like a
juggling trick or
skateboarding trick or "a clever solution to a vexing problem or dilemma", when being able to play at all is "a technique," really. Many supposed techniques would more rightly be referred to as a
novelty item (used rarely, in few situations, for a specific effect) or a
gimmick that impresses fans but has little musical purpose (e.g., Townshend's "windmilling").
