After some advise ,about two thirds through the fundamentals.plodding along,first two fingers behaving themselves, even the pinky starting to get in line and follow orders but number three is lagging behind.The pesky little critter will not do as it's told,the brain tells it to get moving ,but it shows the same lethargic behaviour as a teenager getting out of bed on Sunday morning .

Also fingers three and four show a marked reluctance to adopt the nice ninty degree bend of one and two,therefore muting the string below.i have resorted to trying to bend the finger back before I start practicing but I don't want to damage anything.Theres sixty years of wear and tear but arethere exercises that can have my fingers emulating the instructors perfect pinkies.
