Does fret layout vary or do I need to stretch my fingers?

I'm trying to do the smashing pumpkins tutorial, the tune is very easy and getting to the frets is no problem, the one catch is that damn pull off, somewhere slightly higher up the fretboard and I think I'd be ok albeit with sod all pressure on my pinkie, as it stands I can barely get my finger there, never mind pushing down. I'm 6"6' with big long bendy fingers like this guy:



The fret is actually on the top of the guitar so I have to go around a corner, do I need pinkie weights to get toned up or have I got a tiny guitar? :(

Actually saying I can get to the other frets fine isnt that much of an accomplishment as I've just noticed they are 13 and 11 :rolleyes:

Pinky dexterity and strength comes from, you guessed it, practice.
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.
