As you begin to see what can be done with finger picking guitar techniques, you will also see that your playing of single note runs will be slower than if you were using your plectrum. This limitation on speed of playing can be overcome by working on your thumb picking. The thumb can be quite fast if you use the "rest stroke". This is technique used in flamenco and classical guitar where the thumb picks a note and comes to rest on the string below it. The resulting note will be much stronger than if you simply used free stroke where your thumb moves outward from the string. As you become more familiar with finger picking you will develop the confidence to use pull-offs and hammer-ons to augment your finger picking.
