I stopped doing it mainly because of how limiting it was , and you can only go so far up the neck with that formation. I also like having the freedom of my pinky finger to play a 5th or a 7th easily.
Thanks for the input mate, I guess I just gotta sort out my wrist position. Wow 6 years ? That's a long time! Have you performed alot?

@Lord Larelip
Okay man, I'll give that a shot and try and work out a good wrist angle.
