Spastic pinky

[Smedz]

Whats up everyone, Ever since i started playing bass i would look at myself in the mirror while I was playing and i always notice that my left hand pinky is all over the place when im playing. for example when im playing a part where it only requires 3 fingers my pinky goes under my neck for some reason but when I do use my pinky my middle finger lifts up off the fret. I want too look as professional as possible when im playing but my spastic pinky is holding me back. anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?

make it a point to use your pinky every time you practice, you'll get better.

does your pinky pop out once in a while? mine does.. seems like theres nothing i can do about that. seems like cliff burton has that too... his pinky just BONG! sticks out

hahah, The pinky im talking about is on my fretting hand but cliff had like tendon damage in his plucking hand thats why his pinky is like that.

Any time my middle finger goes down to hit a note, my pinkie pops out. Seems to be uncontrolable. Tourette's pinkie.

This can be fixed with a meat cleaver or radial saw. Your choice.

Ouch. Normal pinkie people are heartless.
