Hey guys,

I watched a Youtube video lately that kind of has me scratching my head. Specifically, the part of the video where this guys talks about a common pinky issue related to isolating the dexterity of each of your fingers (fretting hand).

Basically, he demonstrates the issue by saying "Slowly play a chromatic scale, and you'll notice when you use your ring finger to fret the note, most people's pinky finger involuntarily shoots up."

My pinky does indeed do this, but he's saying it's worth the time to get rid of this habit. But I'm thinking it doesn't even matter!

Here's the link, and the part I'm talking about is at 5:30 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG0iRQEMNuE

Again, the rest of the video makes sense, but this part I just don't agree with.
