The escaping pinky

This is not a post to examine chops. This is not a post for any kind of analytics other than that damn pinky finger.
I have noticed this on multiple videos on this site and just in general.
When not in use the pinky finger’s natural instinct is to hide away. He doesn’t want to be seen or even used. His natural state is to be curled up near palm home. The pinky is a coward. The pinky is ashamed. The pinky is lazy.
Look at him. Ohh he comes about every once in a while but rest assured he’s a slacker. He’s a loser! A loser I tell ya! The pinky is a big fat loser!!!

Post some vids of your shameful pinky!

This is my shame!

Mine us the exact opposite. It stands up high in the air as though it is trying to run away from any involvement in fretting activities. I have tried tucking it under the fretboard to train it to curl up a bit, but its having none of it. :slightly_smiling_face::neutral_face:

Are y’all trying to avoid using the pinky in general?

@DjangoUntrained Sounds hilarious.
@Pepepicks66 Just an observation of the strange dance the pinky does when not in use. I incorporate it plenty though when it’s not looking like a T-Rex arm.
