I was starting my practice, a few days ago, by very kindly saying: "Ok, letās see if I can train this little pinky to stay nicely curved on the frets while doing the chord changes (it tends to collapse down)ā¦ andā¦it swore at me!
It claimed to be perfectly able to do the job if only āhis 
majestyā wouldnāt pull upwards so nastly! And for calling me an āidiot not to realise it beforeā it got punished with a doubled work-out session 
Great discovery, though. @RoseRock

Smeagol :The songsies, we must play them!
Gollum : Patience! patience, my love. First we must practice the chords changes.
Smeagol: The changies? what about the filthy scalesies, must we learn them too?
Gollum: All in good time, we must go along now, but later we will add 9ās to major scales.
Smeagol: NINESIES? yes ninesies are our friend!
