In addition: don't try to unlearn a bad technique. That's very hard. Approach it as learning a new technique - on that evt. will replace the bad one. This is way easier, despite some possible initial frustration.

Trying to learn Toccata by Malmsteen. I pretty much can do the first part at %80-90 speed its alright for me but it has sweep with pinky fretting 2 notes, he does it I am just unsure if I should keep working on fretting it with my pinky although a bit hard or already try my ring finger. The little sweep part is where I fail.

HowToPracticeGuitar
How do you fix bad guitar technique habits if you have little time to practice?
Here is what NOT to do:
Do NOT put your entire playing on hold just to fix one bad habit. Doing this can cause your other skills to go backwards and kill your motivation to practice.
A better way?
Work on changing your habit for 5-15 minutes a day to get consistent reps in that build new muscle memory.
When the time is up, move on to practice other things (even if you see your bad habit flare up again)… and come back to working on it again the next day.
Follow this process every day for 1-2 weeks and your bad habit will gradually weaken and vanish… while you keep getting better with other skills.
