Hey guys,
When I fingerpick in patterns I know (or learn new ones) I don't do the typical pinky-finger placement on the soundboard. I see it recommended a great deal, but it feels more awkward than my free-floating hand.
My question: is that pinky-placement important for learning future techniques or doing harder patterns down the line, or can I just blow it off? Is it important as you get into playing longer songs? Or is it just a personal taste technique?
I've only been playing 6 months or so, but I play a lot and have pretty good feel for where the strings are so far.
I just don't want to have to unlearn things in a year when I start getting into more and more complicated playing...
Thanks for any thoughts.
