Fingerpicking vs Crosspicking

I just began the introductory lesson on crosspicking and, for me personally, I find it to be more difficult than fingerpicking. Don’t know why…maybe it’s because I started working on fingerpicking first. Anybody else find this to be the case?

For sure, I think crosspicking is harder than fingerpicking, and they’re two different animals. I have an easier time fingerpicking because of banjo.

Yeah, I’ve been putting off the cross picking stuff because finger picking is so much easier, but I know it’s a hurdle I need to put in front of me soon. It opens up a whole new world of music.

Crosspicking is definitely harder, but it’s totally worth it! Keep working on it, you will get it eventually
