But the rubber band thing, I remember seeing it from other youtubers and though it was a lame idea, never tried and never will. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I think it's an interesting topic though, because you see players such as Max Ostro or Rick Graham with immense control of their pinky, and then I seem to notice someone like Andy James who is less strict in that regard. Good technique is never a bad thing though. For the sake of comparison: You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Close enough that the top of both my hands would touch it. It worked. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

It reduces the recovery time between each fretted note. It's the same idea for picking and muting. If you keep your pick close to the string (reduce hand wag) you reduce recovery time for the next strike. Same with muting. If you always keep your hand on or just above the bridge, you can adjust your mute in a split second to provide greater control over dynamics. A great way to tell if you have "flying pinky" syndrome is just to record video of yourself playing a bit of improv solo where you are mostly just thinking about what to play and not focused as much on technique. When you watch the vid you'll see if your technique is flawed and where it's flawed so that you can isolate and fix any errors You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
