I've be playing guitar for nigh on fifty years. I've never had a lesson, never used a tutorial and am entirely self taught. I actually believed at one time that I had invented hammering on and pulling off, only to discover that these are well established techniques and everybody plays that way! Because of the way I learned to play, I have undoubtedly picked up some bad habits and some odd techniques, such as the way, when playing some chords, I often use just one finger to bar three strings (for instance when playing a chord of D at the fifth fret, I bar the B, G and D strings with my little finger.
Amazingly, after all these years, I have only just noticed that, when playing lead, I hardly ever use the fourth (between middle and little) finger of my fretting hand. When I noticed, I made a conscious effort to use this finger more but it simply doesn't feel right. So, I'm just wondering. Is this something else that everybody does or is it a another bad habit that is far too late for me to change?
