I was having trouble with pinky bending inward. Then I found your answer on reddit. This video instantly solved my problem. The hand anatomy makes so much sense. Thank you!
Great tutoring Max Simple, relatable explanations to help us understand what and probably why we started doing things the hard way and how to rectify bad techniques

I am watching a beginners course on udemy that is covering the scales and the instructor is teaching us to keep space between the palm and the base of the neck? I am a little conflicted after hearing this video, thoughts?
It's such a specific issue anddepends on a lot of factors. I'd have to see it and go over your movements thoroughly before actually finding out what's causing it. I know that's probably not the answer you hoped for, but I can't, in good conscience, just give a random reason and possibly lead you down the wrong road. I'd be happy to work with you if you'd like help overcoming your pain. I know how frustrating it can be to not be able to play pain-free, but your pain definitel has a cause and we just need to find it and fix it.
*Max Rich Music* Your stuff is really helping . My only issue is when I do the 4 finger exercises starting at the G String . My Ring finger goes up fine. It comes down to the G string fine. But getting to the B and High E without moving my pinky is almost impossible. It's my dead spot to playing that exercise in time. *I've been working on it almost a month and getting no where* I should mention I have played acoustic 5 years . So it's not as though I have a Weak Pinky . Playing lead electric though is a new game for me . I haven't been a serious student though . Kinda got stuck in a comfort zone and stayed there. Also Older at 59 . So maybe my ring finger is screwed.
Hey there, no your fingers are definitely not screwed up! Don't feel like its impossible, because it isn't. There are a few things I can probably tweak for you to in the movements you use that will help make this much easier. If you'd like send me an email to max@maxrichmusic.com with a video showing the problem and I'll let you know what I think. The main thing is that these are techniques everyone can do, you just have to find the right mechanics and hand position that allow them to work effortlessly.

Love you videos. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong to cause pain at the base of my thumb?

what happens when (at 8:42) my fingers move more with my thumb out? i can barely move my fingers when my thumb is in the middle
I'd have to see it to find out what's going on. If you want, send me a video..maxrichmusic.com/contact
