Thanks in advance,

Many a legendary guitarist has said the avoid using their pinky. Brian May had said he avoid sit as much as he can. I mean, don't do what Brian does, but it tells you that the pinky is universally challenging for all but a few folks. You're in good company. Now go work on Chris' drills!
