I have small fingers and when it comes to certain exercises and stretches, it's really frustrating! For example a 5th fret High E string to 10th fret high E string is almost impossible for me without pulling a muscle.

Does anyone else suffer from small fingers, and/or have any tips? I know you can stretch and practice, but your fingers can only go so far. On the other hand, I feel that on the higher frets, my small fingers could be an advantage since they won't "trip over themselves" like long fingers might. smile.gif
