Back After 2 Years! (vid)

So I decided to sign back up here at GMC after about 2 years away....I know I've been slacking with my playing lately so I decided it's time for some serious practice, and what better way to do that than here at GMC I couldnt play a note before I signed up here and I've come a long way! Thanks Kris Here's my latest youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlRUQNqgfsw and of course any criticism is appreciated!

Got A New Guitar!

Hey guys,
I got a new guitar (finally) Schecter Damien FR.
It's my first guitar that I actually own so i just had to show it off
I've been playing a crappy Alvarez and the difference between them is huge. I got it for $350 at a local shop, cheaper then musicians friend! It plays awesome especially for only costing $350

Play With My Pinky?

I've only been playing a couple weeks, I got most of my pentatonics down, but I play them with just my index and ring finger. I notice Kris uses his pinky sometimes. Should I be using my pinky? Will it effect my speed if i just use my ring finger?

Example:
Am pentatonic scale
e|---------------------5-8-5----------------------|
b|-----------------5-8-------8-5------------------|
g|-------------5-7---------------7-5--------------|
d|---------5-7-----------------------7-5----------|
a|-----5-7-------------------------------7-5------|
e|-5-8---------------------------------------8-5--|
