I have two questions:
1) If I play a descending pentatonic scale starting from 5th fret on the D string (G), what fingers should I use on the G string (for 6th, 5th, 3rd)? I've been using ring, middle, index and feel like I should be using my pinky instead of a big stretch.
2) I've been studying the FFcP material on jazzmando. I fully understand close scales and starting with each finger but it seems like an unnecessary number of choices. I've been practicing transitioning between index-on-root and ring-on-root fingers and transitioning between the two. Isn't that more sensible than working on all 4 fingers? It seems like I can learn half the patterns but still move around the fretboard easily.
Cheers
