Re: No clear tone from "pinky" finger
Well,the G & D strings are pretty 'tight' even under my large hands/fingers. Tobin has it though - If you're going to use your pinky on those strings,you really need to get your fingers so that they press directly down,vertically,on the strings. That way you're getting the maximum 'down force' onto the strings. Personally,i work my fingering in such a way that it's very rare for me to use my pinky on those strings. I leave those for my 2nd & 3rd fingers so that i do get good intonation - most of the time !,
