You can use both ways, depending on the size of the fingers. Hendrix used to play the top notes with ring, and bended G string with the middle finger. But, try to bend with the ring finger, you will get better control that way. Also - you will be able to use pinky for other fretting around that note, for example to go to next position.

Can you post photo of your fingers? I never heard about using middle finger for wholestep interval (i.e. two frets:)) Thats kind of stretch:) But do what suits best to you:)
And regarding that bends.. I asked the same question recently. After few days of practice, I agree with others - ring with support of others all the way ! -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus

Hey, if you follow the tabs, just watch my fingering (it's very useful to get down the pinky on the 8th fret, as when you start shredding using aeolian mode (natural minor) you are gonna need to place the ring-finger on the seventh fret in the first position...) SO:
1 - 4 | 1 - 3 | 1 - 3 | 1 - 3 | 1 - 4 | 1 - 4 Hope it helps, and for improvising I guess you can just use whatever fingering you want... -------------------- My YouTube Channel

While i agree on the above, once you get the pattern played into your mind, you should experiment by using different fingering.. the same note may sound slightly different when using ring finger compared to pinky, and index finger compared to "bad mutherfinger".. I would also like to add that the fingering changes depending on the box you want to play in. A very good way to move up the fret is sliding from 5 to 8 using the index or "bad mutherfinger", as you can then start playing in other positions... I'm not sure you are interested in this information, but might help in the long run It's important to play "outside the box", and you should check out some lessons concerning the pentatonic scale, showing many different ways of changing positions... I don't have the name at this exact moment, but it should be easy to find. I also suggest that you start learning all the five positions for minor pentatonic, although you may not need to play between them at first. When you are very comfortable playing all the positions separately, play extremely slowly and move to the adjacent box (both boxes left/right are easy to remember)... This may take some time to get down, but it will seriously be worth it in the long run. Hope this helps Alexander -------------------- My YouTube Channel

I never heard about using middle finger for wholestep interval (i.e. two frets:)) Thats kind of stretch:) But do what suits best to you:) Many use index and middle for even whole and a half interval, diminish triad on one string per example, 2 minor 3rds and it's played with index, middle and pinky. -------------------- Youtube

I asked the same question recently. After few days of practice, I agree with others - ring with support of others all the way ! it all a matter of technique, there is no force behind those bends at all. But I agree that pinky is the weakes finger, so it would be best to use ring finger. Pinky can be used as well tho, after a while it just becomes effortless, but since it is the smallest finger, and it can be used for other purposes, then using some other finger would be better. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
