It does take more practice, but I figure the benefits are worth it. What he said ^^^
Although, I am finding I can only tap double-stops if I anchor the palm of my hand on the body of the guitar. Otherwise, I'm guaranteed to miss a string or catch one when pulling off from the tap. Anchoring is the only thing I've found that helps with that.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Scrybe https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/where-do-you-put-your-pinkie/#post-347579 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/where-do-you-put-your-pinkie/#post-347385 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:41:12 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion dbrownlee https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/where-do-you-put-your-pinkie/#post-347385 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/where-do-you-put-your-pinkie/#post-347371 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 12:08:53 +0000

Sometimes floating. Always floating in songs when I use the whammy a lot. Always anchored when I sing.

Singing and using the whammy bar is not an option.

Absolutely no decisionmaking tied to this- just what seems to happen.

Right or wrong? I don't know but it feels comfortable to me that way.

When I strum though I don't put my pinkie there because the movement comes from the elbow when strumming and from the wrist when picking.
The movement should always come from the wrist.

If you are using your elbow for your strumming you will tire quickly and wont be able to play as long without great upper arm endurance.

With finger picking, i find myself sometimes anchored and sometimes not. I dont know why. But using the tecnique where each finger has a coresponding string. The thumb for the bass note and the three bass strings on the guitar (E,A,D) then index for the G, middle for the B and ring for the E then the little finger has no use. I find i play cleaner and can play faster without anchoring the little finger, but my aim on the strings is better if i anchor, i'm less likley to plck the wrong string.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wattsiepoops https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/where-do-you-put-your-pinkie/#post-347298
