Fretting Hand Positioning Options

[ShredNChunk]

Hey all

I have a question regarding fretting hand positioning. I'm doing this Lesson at the moment.
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...inger-work-out/

If you click on Lesson step 3, you can see the way he positions his hand/fingers. Its as if the finger are pointing down the neck of the guitar, towards the bridge.

The way i do it is by placing my thumb around the center of the neck, and have my fingers almost at a 90 degree angle to the neck. But if you notice, you can see my pinky almost touches the fret with the side of the finger, instead of the tip of the finger. (It does this because of the rather large stretch though, normal at touches with the tip.)



Well, what i want to know is, do i need to work on my positioning? Should i learn to do it, like he does it in his video?
