Hello to all,

I am a beginner and in Lisa's McCormick spider legs excercise I encounter the following problem.

I can spread my fingers fairly far apart when my hand is in a flat position, but as soon as I bend my hand as to grab the neck of the guitar, my middle and index finger join together, so as both tips touch and I cannot cover the full 3 frets.

Is there an excersise to train my fingers to stay apart?

Many thanks,

René
