Don't Ignore Your Pinky and Your Thumb

Quick tip for the day: Using all your fingers on your fretting hand will give you more options. Your little finger (pinky) is often neglected when soloing or playing many chords. Challenge yourself to incorporate your pinky in your technique and try to make it as strong as your other fingers.

If your hands allow it (size-wise), also try to incorporate your thumb sometimes. Just wrap it around and play at least the low E string. Jimi Hendrix was known to use his thumb to fret the low notes of a chord to free his fingers to incorporate lead work while doing rhythm.
