@SciencePete Good question: to pink anchor or to not pinky anchor. When I first started I had a hard time hitting the same string twice in a row with my flatpick so anchoring with my pinky gave me a little more steadyness and confidence to find what I was having a hard time locating. Over time my anchor got in the way and did not allow me the tone palate I wanted to explore so I abandoned it. I don’t anchor with my fingers anymore but as @MikeGaurnier pointed out there are other ways to anchor. I will use my hand on the bridge and my forearm on the lower bout depending on what I am doing. There are occasions that I try to touch the guitar body as little as possible and that is fun too. The only thing touching is the pick on the strings and the body on my knee. Great sound! I can’t go as fast but when trying to get the ringing resonance no need to go so fast. Go with what works until it doesn’t work and then do something else.
