TOPIC: DREADED PINKY FINGER!!!!

Re:DREADED PINKY FINGER!!!! 12 years 9 months ago #5469

I have the same problem, the pinky is weak. I know Fretmentor likes to keep his index finger free, and play a G chord with the middle, ring and pinky, versus the index,middle and ring fingers. It gives economy of movement and freedom of movement keeping the index free, but i can't press hard enough on that high G note to ring it, so i revert back to the lazy way. I suppose i could practice more with it, and it would come around.

I have the same problem when I play the "D"
chord. The frets at that point have groves
worn into them, and I have to press much harder for the D chord to ring out.

I have almost the same problem; My pinky finger is just too darn resitant to do what I want it to do. The pinky on my bow hand keeps going staight when it's supposed to be curved. It's a little better when I'm really focused on it, but the moment my mind wanders it's back to the way it was.:( And the pinky on my left hand has started giving me trouble with paly ing four on the 3rd(D) string and open on the 2nd(A) string. Oh, well. Practice, Practice, Practice (or Play, Play, Play).;)



P.S. :woohoo:Wow! my post was six sentences! An all time record.;)

The poor pinky finger.It was the last one to be invited to the party. Now it has an inferiority complex. BOO HOO! Get with it pinky! Get in there and PLAY! Hit all those high notes or you'll be doing scales all by yourself. Come on...the rest of us are counting on you.
