Ring Finger Control
My ring finger has the tendency to want to slide up the fretboard toward the neck and away from my baby finger when doing barre chords or finger exercises. Any advice to help keep it where I place it rather than it wanting to slide up? Thanks in advance.

You probably just need to build a little finger strength. Every new chord is a position you have never in your life asked your hands to try to make before. Keep doing what you’re doing and it should get better over time- slowly. A year from now you’ll look back and forget it was ever hard

@Johnnyman Completely agree with @That_Guy that it’s finger strengtH, but in addition you need to build on finger individuality dexterity, which is difficult with the ring finger and pinky, because they share a tendon. Finger strengthening should help somewhat with that. Working the different scales and lessons should help with the finger dexterity.
