I've been inspired to try some hybrid picking by the likes of Greg Koch and Tommy Emmanuel.
I'm really struggling with some of the techniques around tucking the plectrum though, and wonder if I could just keep hold of the pick with my thumb and first finger and then use the other two plus my pinky.
Having watched a few videos I've not seen many advising this however, most seem to leave out the pinky on the right hand in favour of the thumb on the bass strings and the first three fingers on the treble.
Any thoughts or advice? Should I try to bring my pinky into the mix or is that a road to nowhere?
Thanks!

I'll see if I can find any players using the RH pinkie - I don't mind trying something a bit different but if there are almost zero players doing something there may well be a good reason for that
I sometimes use it but with nowhere near the control and dexterity of Albert Lee
