Is this bad technique? The pinky looks tense
It's not me.

No, they relax the pinky immediately after.

the shape of the hand looks a little flat...  but I wouldn't say bad technique

not as bad as this for an example...

sorry I couldn't resist...

For someone who claims to know what he's doing that's as bad as it gets!

yes... THAT is bad technique.  He is hard to figure out that one... he has had some kind of training no doubt--he has some weird ideas but his terminology is correct...  he just doesn't play anywhere close to the way he should for the level of training and experience he claims to have.  odd.
