Reached a point where I'm not improving so rapidly any more, and wanted something to challenge myself that wasn't too fast or too complex for me.
And I went ahead and played with my pinky and index fingers.
Being a semi-pettanko guy, I have pretty much never used my index, let alone my pinky. Heck, I haven't even heard of anyone using their pinky, so I decided, "What the hell, I'm going to do it just so I can see why."
I actually did surprisingly well. Here are the 4 songs I did, in order. No other songs were played. I used A F and K " for my keys.
But in the end, I can tell that this will only end in frustration and tears because jumps mess you up like no other. At least my pinky might be a bit stronger and more nimble in case I ever feel like taking up the piano.
