I second Jon's notion. I have seen people with small hands do amazing things, and people with large hands really struggle. The act of playing guitar isn't a natural thing, when you really think about it. It's an awkward position and you really don't use your hands in that way for many things. It's really awkward for everyone I feel, so take comfort in that. :D

The upside is, there are many ways to play all of your scales. While you can elect to do the wide stretching 3 note per string scales, there are many scale patterns that allow you to play with very close shapes. The use of the pinky is never easy, but I guarantee you once you get it worked up it's there to stay!

Start with the smaller scales first, as you you are playing the same notes. Then once you have those down, then try SLOWLY working into the larger scales. Don't bite off more then you can chew :eek:

Enjoy the journey, and best of luck!
