Thanks for the input, I have googled more and seen different exercise etc and I’m sure it is trigger finger. https://youtube.com/shorts/rlJSCbI-NPw?feature=share you can see how bad it actually is, either way calling doctor tomorrow hoping for a referral. Thanks.

Heres to hoping! Will look into that ASAP

Both hands aswell which tells me it isn’t just bass related I had the issue long before I played :(

Cheers Steve, I admit I sit like that out of laziness more then anything but does hinder my playing. Will start to get the chair out from Now. i can play using all four fingers and simpler stuff I seem to, when it comes to any sort of runs moving around the fret board I seem to tuck my fingers...

My little finger will lock in my day to day life but the only other activity I use it for is gaming and even then it’s annoying but I can use it. if google is to be believed I think it’s trigger finger, which is only fixed by surgery :(

Trouble I have is I’ve played long enough and I can play some tricky stuff and play well. Is it always the most efficient way perhaps not and whilst I am open to learning I have played on and off for 16 years only really getting serious last six months again. Which makes breaking bad habits and...

Get drunk, and loosen up the finger? :D

That’s just it, I’m all for improving my technique but sometimes I will play 1-2/3/4 other times different and I think should of done this should of done that, over thinking it i guess.

Benjamin on TikTok Just to show I do use my middle finger, as my last clip makes it look like I don’t use at all. forgive thumb placement I’m working on it. Thanks for all the advice that’s exactly why I joined and what I was hoping for. Edit. Now after rewatching my self I do seem to...

Appreciate the advice, completely self taught so I guess I have a few bad habits which I’m working on. my back hurts from sitting like that, I normally practice standing up or on a chair, it’s the only good place I have to record videos.

That’s exactly what I think it is, I spent a good few hours on google and came to the conclusion that is it.

Thanks and I appreciate the kind words and input. The other videos on there I do use my middle finger but I know in that clip I’m not and as you say keeping it out the way. i find more when I’m playing runs etc I do tend to keep my middle finger out the way, self taught so guessing just a...

Not sure if this is allowed but it’s my only video I have without going home and recording and want to sure you what I mean. Benjamin on TikTok look at my pinky as you see it’s usable but just locks. If not allowed, don’t shoot me just remove.

I will check it out, I use ultimate guitar App which has the same feature and is super helpful. learnt a lot of chilli peppers that way.

Now I have started using it as you say it is coming along. Just the locking issue makes it hard to use it for runs so really just use it for notes here and there.
