Im not a exspert on Jazz, but the ideal Jazz guitarist useally uses a pick, but then theres always exseptions... But ya, enless your playin a folk type of Jazz, your useing just a pick.

But just saying, I dont know how old you are, but if your trying out for the high school or late middle school jazz band, you should be more exsperence, and not to put you down or anything, but Jazz is probally the most complex music out there, take it from the guy who composed both so its not a good idea to go out there and exspect that you could pick up this thing in a mounth or two.

And start lisining to some jazz to if you dont already, got to get some of thoes classic jazz guitar riffs in your playin and that feel, a lot of jazz is feel, and knowing how to paly on the top of your head, but it depends on what type of Jazz your playin.

Anyway, good luck
