So I’m curious to find out what is your maximum stretch distance from index finger to the pinky on the fretboard.
Some songs especially those chord melody types really requires superhuman level stretch.
In my case, I have ridiculously short fingers aka Baby T-Rex Hands Syndrome. My stretch is at a stupidly 5.5 inches, barely made it on for a chord shape that need to stretch from 5th to 14th fret on a soprano. I can’t play that song (Music Box by Jake Shimabukuro) beyond soprano scale due to my very limited stretch. But that’s okay for me cos I’m a soprano addict.
If ok, just humour me by sharing your stretch distance to confirm I do have very short stretch. Thanks!
Edit:
Conversion list
5” = 12.7cm
6” = 15.24cm
7” = 17.78cm
8” = 20.32cm
9” = 22.86cm
10” = 25.4cm
