It sure is the bedrock of rock n roll.

I have spent a lot of time playing this style. It's the foundation of rock and roll.

As for your comment on 'semantics'.

There is a clear definition of 'finger picking'. It means using a pick or plectrum. You can even get finger picks for each individual finger.

Finger style is playing without picks although there are numerous variants of styles.

I knew this would be controversial 😂😂👍🎸
