Thanks for any help you can provide

Ok, if you're in the first fret, for example, and fretting with your index finger, when you go up to the 10th fret you might wanna use your pinky to minimize the distance your hand has to move. Unless you have to bend or something, then I'd use my ring finger. I don't like having to bend with my pinky.
