OK I think I found somethings that seem to be working. I started doing the spider legs thingy that Lisa shows. I also have been stretching my wrist and fingers. A guy at a guitar shop showed me an exercise which helps too. It is easy, spread your fingers and push them across your knee while in a sitting position. He told me that his instructor in college had all the students doing this anytime they were in class listening to lectures. It is easy and you can do it anytime and any where. I have been doing it while I drive or watch TV. I also bought my first electric yesterday. It is a little easier for my fingers to reach the strings. I picked up an Epiphone Les Paul Standard.
