Size really doesn't matter dude, it is all a question of strength, co-ordination and supplety.

This question pops up a lot so pardon the sarcasm :). You can play guitar with stubby fingers don't let that hold you back.
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.

If Romeo from Symphony X can play awsome guitar than ANYONE can(unless he just has fat fingers...is there a difference?)

I've got really small hands with short fingers. Some things are tougher for me, actually some chords are physically inpossible for me to play, but I deal and don't really have any major problems. I actually play a simple power chord with my pointy finger and pinky, easier for me. It's just finding the easiest way to do things with short fingers...
