@va601m I agree with @jumpinjeff either way is fine if it makes the difference between you playing a song and not being able to play it. Using the pinky to support definately helps your right hand string awareness, so if you want to wean yourself from that, I’d do lots of right hand (picking hand) exercises… But it’s whatever works for you and keeps the fun in it!! There are some purists who say that pinky support is bad technique but I’d say only if it starts messing with your ability to play a song.
(I can’t play Blackbird without my pinky support)😂
