Hey @aces1202 ;
Here’s what I would say. It is really good that you can hammer on with your pinky. That will serve you well.
However, not being able to reach 2 frets with you ring is going to be limiting. You’ll find that it’s not what it seems, that your fingers don’t reach that far. Eventually you’ll find it is easy to reach when your arm and wrist and hand are in the proper position. It’s much better to learn the proper positions now.
Go back and watch Tony REALLY, REALLY closely and see where his elbow is, how he’s holding his hand, is the wrist forward or back, is his thumb sticking up above the back of the neck or has he dropped it down to the middle. Relatively minor adjustments will create a huge difference in what your fingers can reach.
I hope this helps. I’m not sure it’s really that important at this time. You will learn as time goes on. You want to play what you can to have fun… at all times. Then you want to try to stretch what you can do… a little… at all times. It’s just that balance between having fun with what you can do and always trying to do a little more.
