What is pick finger?

Picking with fingers primarily refers to the technique of using the fingertips to pluck or strum the strings of a guitar rather than using a guitar pick. Picking with fingers is generally preferred by guitarists who seek a fuller, more natural sound from their guitar. The technique can also allow for quicker and more intricate finger movements, enabling guitarists to play complex solos and chords. To pick with fingers, guitarists typically place their thumb behind the strings and use their other fingers (usually the index, middle, and ring fingers) to pluck the strings. There are different types of fingerpicking patterns, including alternating bass patterns and arpeggios. Fingerpicking is commonly used in a variety of musical genres from folk to classical to rock.
