Hi Teresa

There are simple exercise for your pinky!. First of all, make sure the hand is parallel to the fingerboard so that you have ease of stretching and for speed!.

Practice these on the 5th fret!. You can shift in any position afterwards!.

Use 1-2-3-4 fingers on 5-6-7-8th fret in this manner and use alternate picking please!.

4-3-4-3-2-3-2-1 do this on all strings !.

1-4-1-4-1-3-1-3-1-2-1-2-1-3-1-3-1-4-1-!.!.!.
1-3-4 (2 times on each string)
4-3-1 (2 times on each string)

That should help you with that little pinky finger issue!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've found that the single most effective way to get your pinky going on your guitar is to play piano!. My pinky used to just hang there until I learned how to play the keys, and now it functions just like any other finger on the guitar!. You don't even have to learn how to play piano well!. Just bang out a few chords and some simple bass lines with your left hand!. It'll make a serious difference in your playing, will probably influence how you think about music, and will also make you a better all-around musician!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
