When I use 3 picks, both my pinky and ring finger are tucked, but when I use 4 picks, my pinky is extended, and some blocking is done with my tucked ring finger. It just seems to happen that way !!

I have been exploring all options lately. I've been incorporating my 1st finger a lot more than previous and I've noticed little changes in my playing.
I don't feel comfortable with the pinky fully extended yet; I find comfortable to hook it around the first string like mentioned earlier in the thread.

That's the way I do it also,hey Mike I don't think that I ever thanked you for the lap steel gauges,and tuning...Happy Turkey day to you.
