Sweeping fingers

Post by TamPron »

Do you use your pinky to sweep? i prefer not too because my hand gets all smushed up and poopy, so i just use my pointer, middle, and ring fingers



How about yinz?

i do use my pinky, but on the really high notes, very high up the neck, it's better not to use it.

I use my pinky a couple times during sweeps, usually to start the sweep off or long stretches and high notes. Although I always use my pinky in for rhythm playing. USE ALL YO' FINGA'S FOO

I use my pinky for everything, even pentatonic wank, an I have long fingers too. No idea how anyone could play any wide sweep with 3 fingers. :krinor:

I have a bent pinky so it is a stretch to use it in fretting. I can mostly manage though.

Yes, I use my pinky. I have huge hands, so there's a certain point where I do/don't, but I generally use the pinky as a way of making my fretting more economical.
