I can almost do 1-8 and my fingers are kinda short/stubby.. yea, the thumb-pointer thing is wrong, cause thats only like, 3 inches on my hands, and I KNOW my penis is bigger then 3 inches..

haha yeah, i can do 1 to 7. I guess thats pretty good for a 15 year old. However it seems pointless, i doubt you'd ever need to strech that far, but you never know
much love...

I can reach as far as I have to to ever make a chord or progression without totally going out of my way....... and that is good enough for me.

Ya, I have incredibly short fingers...

From knuckle to tip my middle finger is exactly 3 3/8"...

Haven't had too many problems playing yet though...

...and no, it is not a scientific fact that your penis size can be determined by your hand size, I'm living proof...

...just thought I'de clear that up...

...for all of you who were confused...

...ya...

You know what they say about guys with small hands...
























They wear small gloves.

If you can comfortably lay your index down on 1 and your pinky on 5.. then you have pretty much everything covered.. I've been playing for years and have never had any problems..

I'd be more interested to know how down the neck you can fret something like.. xx1346 .. I can pull that off at the 5th fret (no buzzing, comfortably).. I think something like that is a better measure of finger reach and dexterity
