Hi, everyone, I'm hoping someone can give me some tips on stretching my fingers, as I'm now completely stuck. I've been trying every day to do the spider legs exercise BUT my ring finger refuses to leave the side of my middle finger and I can't get it anywhere near the string at all. I'm beginning to feel this will never happen. It's better if I move down and start at the fourth fret instead and that's how I've been practising but each time I move back to have another go, it just won't happen. I've also seen some finger stretchers for sale - do they actually work? My guitar is full size and I'm also wondering above going smaller. Any help would be gratefully received. Thank you
