Especially when going up in the scale...... Does anyone know how to improve that These can be quite difficult to do at first. The best thing for me is to keep my thumb at the back of the guitar neck and that way you generally get a wider stretch. This might seem odd at first if you're not used to doing it but its nothing practice won't fix You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I made that mistake to keep them more aligned, which seriously made those stretches more difficult, even when you have the thumb right. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
