Do you need a plectrum for an acoustic guitar or can you do without?

er... yes. The electric guitar is played with fingertips, fingernails, individual fingerpicks or flat picks (plectra), and occasionally with other objects or body-parts. Jimi Hendricks, for instance, played his electric guitar with his teeth. Certainly, the majority of electric guitar playing is done with flat picks, fingerpicks, fingertips or fingernails. Usually, the choice is related to the type of playing: rhythm guitar players tend to plectrum use. Fingerstyle players tend to fingertips or fingernails. Some players mix, using a plectrum held with thumb and index finger, then adding additional plucks with the fingernails of the ring and middle finger, or using picks on those fingers! It is common for a beginning guitar student, especially on electric guitar, to start with a plectrum. This makes it easier to learn chord patterns with the left hand, without having to worry about finding individual strings with a choice of fingers in the right hand!
