....that's covering, say, frets 3, 5 and 7, which finger do you tend to play the 5th fret with? I've just notice that I use my ring finger, leaving ring and pinky to make a 2 fret stretch from 5 to 7. But I see quite a few other players use their middle finger on the middle note...so they make the 2 fret stretch with index and middle, and then a much easier stretch from 5 to 7 with middle and pinky.
The reason I ask is that I'm working on some three note per sting patterns on acoustic and I'm finding trying to do any hammers and pulls on that second stretch (ring and pinky across two frets) a real challenge, There seems to be more power available if I'm holding drown with middle and hammering with pinky.
Anyone else messed around with this and changed how they were doing it?

Getting this into muscle memory also helps when you play 3 nps pentas, where you'll often have 2 fret gaps.
I have a fairly big stretch, so I can do it the other way, too, but I have ulnar nerve issues, and the extra stretch with the unsupported pinky is just asking for pain/numbness.
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
I would only use 134 when 3 & 4 are a semitone apart.

Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Why? Because it's easier!

134 seems easier at first but its worth learning the 124 as it is easier to nail every note each time around. Especially the little finger slide on Message in bottle . good workout for the 124 .
