@LocoPCtheoneandonly Bluegrass players try to use open strings as much as possible because the open strings ring and fill in the sound. In the key of G, there's very little reason to use the little finger in 1st position. In fact, most bluegrass players try to avoid using the little finger because it's weak, and weakness is antithetical to speed.
Great video but...why you are not using your left hand pinky ?
