I've been at this uke thing for about a year. Doing okay but seem to be limited because my "fret hand" fingers just don't have much reach. I recently came across the "stretching exercises" from Aldrine Guerrero. The spread between my bird finger on the "E" string and my ring finger on the "A" string is only one fret. I CAN ONLY GET ONE FRET OF STRETCH BETWEEN THE TWO FINGERS no matter how hard I try! I think Aldrine can stretch about 9 frets with those fingers!!! I realize he's very accomplished but I'm beginning to think I'm a freak who was born with two right hands even though one appears to be a left hand!!! I practice and practice and practice but these fingers don't stretch! Any thoughts or pointers from anyone?
