I just decided to play with a pick. I hate playing with fingers so much
Nothing wrong with that. There are definitely advantages to playing with a pick, but don't rule finger playing out completely. For every song that sounds great with the crisper tone provided by a pick, there are just as many which benefit from the softer tone provided by finger playing.
Also, believe it or not, there's going to be a time when you're jamming with your band (or, worse, playing a gig) and your pick's going to go flying. There you are, in the zone, chugging away, then suddenly VROOP, your pick's off and flying like a fart in the wind (and it will happen – happens to everybody, even the most seasoned pros). Sure you can grab another one from your pick strip (if you have one) but if you've developed your finger playing skills, you could recover without missing a beat.
Just sayin'.
