    olga.com didn't work.

    Do guys pick or finger?

    I'm learning to do both, but when I pick my strings always buzz against the frets, at least E does majorly....not sure if this is because of the way i'm strumimg or what.

    I know it's not my finger position, becuase when i finger it sounds fine.

    Also you guys know how to build rythem up when your fingering the string? I always seem to lose my rythem when I walk fast...

    I play both. Finger mostly, but on really fast songs I have to pick.

    Here's a good speed/rythem-building technique.

    01234--------------------------
    --------01234------------------
    -----------------01234---------
    -------------------------01234

    then

    ------------------------43210
    ----------------43210--------
    --------43201----------------
    43210------------------------

    Play it throught and repeat alot, go a little faster everytime you play it through perfect.

    Seems REALLY boring but it really does help right and left hand technique alot.
