I have been playing for two years now and progressing. However, When playing part "B" on Cumberland Gap I can not move my pinky across the 11 and 10 frets on the 2nd string well enough to produce a clear sound on the adjacent 1st string {pinky is always muting the 1st string). My pinky is somewhat curved which seems to be a hinderance to the 1st string on the 9-8-9 triad. I play this song quite well at Scugg's speed. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can overcome this partial muting of the 1st string. Thanks all. I am always reading feed backs to this forum which has helped me greatly. All of you are my banjo teachers!
Thanks
Hank
