Hi there,

I don't think there's anything wrong with using just your fingers to strum. A pick might be useful if you're trying to pick out something very fast and complicated, but if you're simply strumming, or playing a few riffs here and there, your fingers will do just fine.

There are a number of really guitar players that don't use picks at all. I wouldn't worry too much about it!

I don't use picks very often myself!
