This is slighly off topic but when I first started playing guitar, my pinky would shoot straight out no matter how hard I tried to keep it close to the strings.
Even now it does the same thing. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't play fast shredding leads cause my little finger wouldn't come down fast enough.
Over the years though, I learned alternate ways of compensating for it.
I learned to tap... use tons of pull offs and hammer ons, etc etc...
now... you couldn't tell the difference. Plus you develop your own style of playing.

Just learn new ways of fingering chords. Learn how to mute strings that you can't play etc... Eventually you'll develop your own way of doing things.

thats exactly how i am. i wanna cut my pinkie or tie it down to the neck... and yea your advice is the same thing i'd give. also since i started playing, my fingers grew so just keep playing and your fingers will grow... to adapt to the stuff you try to do.
