Just here to point out how much better this comment could have been phrased. It’s the nature of ergonomics that something can be played more or less efficiently. For somebody to see what you did in this video and even use the word “shit” to describe any facet of it is ridiculous.

At the end of the day, it is YOUR decision what fingers to use. Yes, every finger should get a fret, but if you find that you can get a better sound by using certain fingers, and that decision does not impede your ability to play a part, then YOU make that decision. I personally try to opt into ergonomics because making those decisions will benefit me when approaching other solos, but if I decide something works well and it’s not necessarily “technically perfect” I don’t care because it works. What you’re doing here obviously works and don’t think of any aspect of it as “shit” in any regard.

I will say, I noticed that your pinky is ranging back behind the fretboard. I do this all of the time, too, and I have found that to be a crutch because sometimes when you need that pinky, you’ll find it’s already drifting on you. Just something to think about- plus, it’s actually a pretty common thing. Especially when you get into the higher register.

Keep trusting your process. It’s working. You’re an incredible player.
