Pinky Issue

[carvinlb70]

My pinky keeps getting tucked up the bottom on the neck. Any practice techniques to improve or eliminate this?

Should be using in conjunction with the ring finger as a single unit....sorta....some of the time. Have a pic?

If I had to guess, you're playing too tensely and often times your ring and (especially) pinky finger will curl up like a shrimp when you're tensing too much. Try to play more relaxed, don't fret with more strength than necessary. Try to be aware of how your pinky curls as you fret, and work on keeping it straight/relaxed.
