Does anyone else play backwards-Anchoring the pinky, not the thumb

[tekhna]

I have been anchoring my thumb much less lately, and resting my pinky on the G side of my p-pickup. It is feeling much more natural to me, plus I like the sound more using my thumb, pointer and middle fingers instead of pointer, middle, ring.
I'll post a picture of how I play later in case I didn't make any sense here.

I get what you're doing -- it's similar to my own technique -- but I don't see why you'd anchor.

a guy I've been taking lessons from for about a month now does this when he slaps. he can get some killer speed up, but he only uses his first 2 fingers when playing fingerstyle too....says he started slapping like that after seeing some guy in a clinic do it. he's got me putting my thumb and first two through a hair scrunchy to keep mine tight. seems to be working so far.

Well, when i play, i use all my 5 fingers and never anchor anything, not even when i slap

tekhna...are you a converted banjo player?

[bonscottvocals]

I do both, depending on the song. I'm a converted guitar player, so I have a lot of wierd technique.
