This is a question that gets asked a lot I came across this video on you tube by Snooks Eaglin playing Johnny B. Goode The video is a bit grainy Watch at about the 34 second mark for a closeup of his playing He doesnt use a pick and his playing is phenomenal Also watch around the 2 minute 3 second mark
Johnny Winter only used a thumbpick and his fingers and there are many others that dont use a pick Mark Knopfler , Derek Trucks ,Albert King , Robby Krieger ,
If adding these videos is not permitted I apologize I just thought Snooks eaglin did such a great job on this song
