ARGH.
So I'm trying to learn guitar, but I can barely stretch a comfortable octave on the piano.
Are there any finger stretching exercises I could do to get my fingers to...you know, like, work? Lol...
I find myself using my middle finger a lot (right now I'm just working on memorizing which notes are where), so the other fingers don't really get a whole lot of streching.
I had a friend laugh out loud when he watched me play Moonlight Sonata 'cause my thumb and pinky fingers were like straight lines trying to stretch the octave.
So yeah. Small hands, wanna play guitar (electric, not acoustic...not even gonna try that), need finger stretches.
No chatspeak, please!

I'm also just starting to play guitar (acoustic). Except my fingers are long. My teacher says you should practise hand positions like every day for 10 minutes. It seems a waste but it REALLY helped me. Before my fingers were like all over and weird, now I can control them. Everything gets better with practise! Good luck! =)
