  • Pinky joints

    Posted by Val on May 23, 2022 at 1:32 pm

    Hello, I am a little over 3 months into TAC journey.

    I am very happy with every lesson as i note improvement weekly.

    The primary issue i have is my pinky.

    I have noticed the callous is only on the outside tip and instead of the middle of the pad.

    I started looking downward while fretting and realized my end joint either buckles outward or my second joint buckles inward! Either position removes some length, dexterity and strength which i need with small hands.

    Are there any recommended exercises i can do to help me remedy the problem, at least slightly. I don’t expect perfection but the buckling joints (it’s termed double jointed or weak pinky) is exasperating.

    Any suggestions that might help a gradual correction of something is more innate than new?

    I am certain someone else has the issue and worked it through.

    Thank you.

    Shoot!

    I found the exercise.

    There the whole time, I’d forgotten as it did not seem so important initially.

    The Pinky exercise is in the TAC Beginner course!<div>Back to the drawing board for me, daily.

    Thank you Tony!
