Does anyone have a bent pinkie and can share his experience playing the guitar and how it affects him and his playing?

this issue known as clinodactyly if that helps..

I personally find it a bit hard with the spider drill... I am begginer guitar player :)

thanks in advance!

my pinky is an L shape and only moves at the joint nearest the hand wlth the smallest inward movement at the middle joint, the part nearest the nail is loose but i have no control over when it bends.

This on my fretting hand.

I dont consider this as barrier to playing just a challenge to find work arounds.

I am Luckly i have long fingers.

Keep trying.
