Hello group :D

I am wondering why mike moves his hand up and down the fretboard rather than using his pinky on the 5th fret? I play it with my pinky and I don't want to get into bad habits!

[p]I think either way is fine for this situation. I don't think it's crucial to the riff or the sound to play one way rather than the other. But you can ask Mike in his forum!
