Well, if you have no problem, then just go for it! All the great players never follow the rules, you shouldnt either. Micheal Angelo Batio is left handed, yet he playes a right handed guitar, and he also anchors is fingers when alternate picking (which is very bad in most shredder's opinions). But if your totally comfortable and confident, dont listen to what anyone tells you whats right and wrong.

Hell, Marty Friedman donesn't even mute his strings when he shreds - hench his unique monkey claw.
Glen Tipton of Judas Preist hold the pick with his middle finger and thumb to alternate pick.
And countless shredders dont even use their pinky finger... :rolleyes:
