: Guitar fingering question When I play G#/Ab on the high E string on the guitar, I use my pinky for the fourth fret, but what about all the fingers before the pinky? Can they be packed closely to my pinky? Or do all fingers

If you're playing just this single G# it even doesn't matter which finger you use and where the other fingers are. But as Tim says there are certainly other notes (chord or melody ...) that will be added.

So you have to keep in mind what you will play as next and bring your other fingers in "pool-position" that they are ready for what they will have to play as next.
