The problem with using the "G-pinky" fingering is that you play your scales, both the bass and treble, without the use of your index finger, which is awkward. This makes it pretty hard to do any sort of Carter-picking,"
but easy[ if i have understood correctly] to play melody style piedmont picking, where the melody is played on the treble strings with a four four bass played by thumb
