Picking is one of the main ways to play the guitar. It involves plucking the strings and plucking the sounds separately, rather than simultaneously, as is the case with guitar strumming. This allows you to significantly expand the scope for arrangements and melodic moves, since it does not force you to remember exactly the construction and forms of chords. As with combat, there are a number of familiar and simple strumming patterns that are used in a large number of songs.
