Im getting into finger picking and I was wondering which style I should follow before it's "too late" to pick up another one.

What are the pros and cons of each style?
Are both styles offered in lessons on this website?

Thanks

Another question: Is there ever a "too late"? I would think not

Hate to not answer the question but I'd heavily suggest Albert Lee. The king of finger picking. Amazing.

I mention this because all of these guys eventually refer back to Albert. Heck, even Hendrix was in awe of Albert back in the day.

I think both players you mention are fine players in their own right but Albert is the master.
