I had the same problem, but has Zakk said, you just have to practice on those higher frets untill you get used to them.
That's the only way mate! Good luck

Your fingers are for sure not too big, they are just not used to play on the higher frets, and there is just one way of making them get used to it... playing
The solution to your problem is very simple, practice anything anywhere on your guitars neck, don't limit yourself to frets 1-12, use them all. In the beginning it might feel strange, cause the gaps between the frets get smaller and smaller the higher you get, but you will get used to it and your problem will be gone.

Thats also a good advice, and as you can see practicing on the higher frets already has the effect that you want, so just keep practicing all your licks in all positions on your neck. By the way, it is also a good thing to practice sitting AND standing, cause when you play while sitting down you are holding your guitar in a different way compared to playing while standing. So if you only practice sitting down you might have a bad surprise when you finally play a gig, after all you won't sit down on stage, will you?

I do the same thing, on the higher frets I am using different fingerings, for the same reason.

I don't have a potion for making your fingers thin and sharp, but I do think I've left some of that "make your frets wider on higher positions" lotion somewhere around here...
JK, ofc, practice is the key. You said it yourself - you didn't actually rehearsed anything seriously up there. If you start to do that, your playing up there will improve as well. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
