That's interesting, I never considered that. My fingers aren't fast and accurate enough yet and I am little pressed for time. SoI could I save time using my pinky? Is there a correct way of holding strings or is it just personal preference? The guy teaching the instructional video was using his third and pinky finger but that's only one opinion.
