Hey guys

As I expected, my pinky is lagging in strength compared to my other fingers. What exercises can I do to specifically target my pinky finger? Thanks

I use a grip masterfor building strength since you can work indivdual fingers or different pairs with it. Also to try and get my pinky to go where I tell it I work my finger exercises up and down the neck going 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 then 2 4 2 4 2 4 2 4 then 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 where 1 is my first finger and 4 is my pinkey, It seems to be helping

You could also work on some hammer ons and pull offs with the pinky that will help. For example the E,B and G string in the Am blues scale. Hammering on and pulling off the 5th fret and 8th fret
