I've been playing on/off for years and now that I'm older I am finding more time to stick with the guitar. With the exception of chords, I have never really used my pinky. Whenever I've attempted to pick out some "lead" in a song I only use the other three fingers. Is it even possible to bring the pinky up to speed after 20+ years. I can handle most of what I play w/o it but I want to learn more and feel I am wasting potential talent by doing this. My goal is to consistently improve so is there any ideas, tutorials, to get the pinky involved? Thanks in advance. Dale
