Steve here, being 62 years old I'm kinda doubting myself. When I was in my teens and early 20s I could play a few cords but the world of work and family took over and sold the guitar I had. About 20 years ago I picked up a mint Ovation custom legend and decided to try and learn to play. When I was younger I had wonderful dexterity but now am having serious problem being able to even spread my fingers enough to go from 1st finger 1st fret to ring finger 3rd fret...🥴

Wondering if any finger exercises to get the distance and a string recommendation that would be easier on fingertips..

Thanks

Hey Steve,

Have you discovered my “Spider Legs” warm ups yet? They are perfect for gently stretching those muscles again and getting your fingers more flexible.
