Playing 3 Nps Pattern: Middle Or Ringfinger? Options

[Sean_1234]

Hey Guys!

I recently found out I'm doing something different then most others and I wondered whether there is a 'better' way.

When playing 3 note per string patters, there are always a few strings on which you need to cover 6 frets with 3 notes, like:

B:----------3------5------7--

No I'm used to playing that like

B:----------3------5------7--
index ring pinky

But most people use their middle finger instead of their ring finger.

I found it easier playing with the middle finger, as long as I stayed on one or two (parallel) strings, but when I really needed to move around, it became very hard to keep using the middle finger.

So: What's best, or is there no best? Like with powerchords, I also use my pinky where most people use their ring finger : P Weird me haha

Thanks in advance

Sean

I use my index for 1-3-5 up until around the 12th fret, middle after that. Way more comfortable for me this way, so I stick to it.
