I'm an older guy (Retirement age) that has just decided to take up the guitar again after 40 years of not playing.
(I'm just a tad bit rusty)
I've always thought I had big hands and long fingers
But I'm having trouble getting my pinky finger to stretch to some of the notes. For instance when playing the pentatonic scale and stretching to the high "C" note on the E sting from the fith position it doesn't want to stretch all the way up there without taing my whole hand off the frett board and lumbering up to that note.
Other than just repetition and practice. Which I'm doing
Is there anything else I can do to lossen up and widen out may hand and fingers?
