Hi Jayhoward2008,

If you learn exclusively with your fingers, it isn't entirely a bad thing. There are a lot of guitarists out there that play without a pick.

But you have to understand that if you play without a pick, it may be more difficult for you to perform certain techniques that are traditionally executed with a pick, like sweeping, for example.

It's always good to be versatile and I think if you learn how to play with both a pick and your fingers, you'll be in good shape to tackle anything.
