I wasn't blessed with long pinkies so is it gradually going to stretch. I know it's probably the most stretching you will ever do on a guitar due to the fret widths but I figure I might as well start off on the hard stuff You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I dont think hand size matters very much because I have small hands and I can do a 5p1 quite comfortably. Just keep working hard at it. Also something I found that helped me to develope more flexible hands was to occasionally just put my fingers in a position which stretchs them alot and just hold that position for a couple of minutes.

I know it's probably the most stretching you will ever do on a guitar due to the fret widths but I figure I might as well start off on the hard stuff i would advice to use your pinky so you can start gaining Pinky Strength ASAP. But the finger next to the pinky, i only use pinky when the distance requires so. But practice pinky dude! The sooner the better! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
