Actually I find that having that pinkie helps alot, cause i usually like to go from an xx0232 to a xx0233 to a xx0235 fast and having an agile pinkie really helps in situations like that.

thats perfectly normal

assuming your last name is Allen. If not, there's got to be some law against removing/stealing a finger from someone. :P :P

if i put my hands together, my left pinky is like 3/4 of an inch farther out than my right

and i still cannot hit that damn chord on jimi thing. i play a C#m then funk it like the first chord of crash and it sounds the same, more or less

I take every gif I watch (which is A LOT) with a humongous grain of salt. But I don't let that grain of salt get into my eye and blind me to whatever truth can be found in what I'm watching. He is not any worse than any other poster here, and the people who claim he is just don't know what they're talking about. The demonization has gotten ridiculously out of hand.

agreed. you really should refrain from stealing other people's fingers. unless of course you're in the mofia and they didn't pay up. then it's acceptable

Yeah, i love my "dave pinky". Another weird thing i got going on with my fretting hand is my thumb. When i was in highschool i dislocated it while playing football and ever since i can turn my thumb all the way around and rest it against my pointer. It comes in handy when you want to freak someone out :P
