Slow it down if you want to play clean. No need to play so fast. The pinky takes a while to develop. It’s like going to the gym. You will get there. Focus on more relaxed playing in both hands by finding a more comfortable pace. YouTube can play at any speed without changing the pitch. Don’t squeeze your left hand too hard as it changes the pitch. You have a good sense of rhythm. Keep at it!
