Completely agree... especially when you're adding/changing notes in a chord. For instance, playing a Dmaj chord, then adding your pinky to the third fret right above your middle finger, then lifting the pinky off, then the middle finger off the second fret (E is now open) add middle finger back to the 2nd fret, then pinky back to the third etc (hope I got that right, I don't have my guitar in front of me). The fingerpicking gives a nice flowing sound, and the pinky turns the static chord into a "run" or whatever you want to call it. Good example Haghj.
