Play scales/exercises you already know but only use fingers 2,3 and 4.

Rather than look for exercises I would just start using it in your playing. After all, that's what you're going to be doing with it anyway.
Sometimes I think exercises are like a dress rehearsal for a dress rehearsal... just work it straight into musical phrases. If you use your first 3 fingers for all the 3 notes per string stuff then just sub the 3rd finger for the pinky. But then if you don't do that sort of playing anyway, because you said you're not much of a shred dude, then do you need to work it up ? Try some of these https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...inger-work-out/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/little_finger_etude/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/move_y...le_finger!/ |

Well said!!! This is great advice from the Benster. If you just incorporate it in to your playing in an organic way, you'll just start using it more and get better at it. Also, as was mentioned, you just pick any scale and make sure to use your pinky wherever possible. So you theoretically have all the drills you cold need

As everybody is saying here, the trick is using it in your improvisations and phrasing. The technical exercises can be very boring and painful at first. You can work on them a few minutes every day but try to use it on real music situations. Ben suggested great GMC lessons which are musical and involve pinky finger.
If you want to incoporate some 5/10 minutes of boring but effective practice, work on this chromatic exercises: click HERE -------------------- My lessons
