Is it normal for your pinky finger to starting hurting.

Like.


A lot?

Re: Ow.

If FFR is not used properly, severe or fatal pinky damage may occur. Play at your own risk.

Re: Ow.

Your pinky should only hurt if you're playing pettanko, and doing a song with a bunch of jacks.

I haven't quite learned the FFR language yet.







Unless you're just screwing with me.

He screws you not. Pettanko is using 4 fingers index, middle, ring, and pinky. My pinky hurt when I first started playing spread. After a while it doesn't hurt anymore.

Re: Ow.

I've always just played with 3.

I seem to naturally lock my pinky finger up when I play, so that must be why.

Re: Ow.

I'd say mostly the discomfort on your pinky has to do with straining the muscles in your hand in general.

Re: Ow.

Pettanko=spread but with pinky/ring instead of index/middle

As for the question, yes, my pinky hurts before any of my other fingers do. You just have to train yourself to keep your pinky in check.
