Hi,

I'm 6 weeks in and finished fundamental 1, I'm on to power chords which I've been looking forward to as I'm a metal fan although I'm hoping to play a lot of Floyd too.

My question is Lisa uses her ring finger on the A string and pinkie on D, I find this works for me but it feels much easier using my pinkie on A and D especially for quick chord changes. Bearing in mind I hope to progress to playing along to bands like Slayer and Behemoth should I force myself to avoid the double pinkie position, will it hamper or assist me later in my quest?

Thanks for any help. 🤘🎸
