Malmsteen is a good example how finger size is a part of your styles evolution... Yngwie basically does speed runs... that's mostly all he does. Sometimes I wish I had small fingers to be able to rip through some of his runs, but I don't. I have longer fingers that allow me to make chords that a lot of people can't make. So that is my style... As for the person that started this thread..... small hands doesn't make you any less capable of learning how to lay. It's just one of those small things that will probably influence the way that you play. Maybe you'll be able to fly around the fretboard like Yngwie.
