Juggler you could try a technique I've used to better myself at playing a real guitar, every now and again while at work/home/car/airport/ ANYWHERE!! place your hand flat on a surface and then proceed to raise and lower your middle finger, say twice a second - this will teach your pinky to be more independent.
It does work, before I couldnt for the life of me hold a note with my pinkie but after a few days of doing this excercise I've improved greatly.

Hey cheers fella... will give that a try.... any help is appreciated... but with my luck people will think I have a nervous tick in my hand hahahahahaha
I was taking private acoustic guitar lessons (many years ago at school) but they clashed with my Rugby team practise so I gave them up... shame that really on reflection. Des :roll:

Yeah Des i heard that biting down on your two pinkie nails for 30 seconds and then linking your two pinkies together and pulling them helps alot, aparently it strengthens the nerve reflexes in them. :twisted:

Yeah, that works really well, I played Guitar Hero in the store once, my pinkeys were giving me trouble, one of the clerks suggested for me to do that, so I did. than I was on FIRE, I missed like 2 notes.

I wasn't that good with my pinkies at first, either. Getting that blue button down was tough at first (same with the orange button). My method: keep playing. The more you play, the better you get lol. There are songs that I thought I'd never be able to beat, so I went back and tried getting better scores on ones that I already beat and found it a little easier to play those tough songs.
So stop biting your pinkies and just play! :lol:

hahaha that biting your fingers thing is something I remember from my childhood and I recall it was a prank to make some poor unsurspecting kiddie have serious pain in their fingers :?
The more I play the better my control of the alien attachment called my pinky gets. Des :roll:

WOOHOOO! Just beat GH2 on EXPERT
It was hard as hell but I kept trying. Freebird really isn't the hardest song on there. I spent mor time on Misrlou than Freebird. My little brother was watching and as soon as I got past the part I would normally fail at I yelled for my bigger brother (Who could NEVER beat it) and we all sat and watched as I was crowned the guitar god...LOL

Wow, way to go. I never bothered making myself play all the songs again on expert, just the ones I like. I played Hanger 18 a lot of times on expert, but I still can't get passed 90%...
