Hey Kris,

 

Easy.... All you need is a finger strecher!😅

All jokes aside, I had a similar issue when I first started and thought my hands were too small.

Turned out it just took allot of practice and my pinkey and other fingers just need to learn to move in different ways. I fell like it took a couple years to fully get comftorable to the point I could strect a 4 fret spacing in the open position with out even thinking oabout it.

The only advice I can offer right now is practice, or like other issues I ran into in my playing, I had to find other ways to play certain things.

The fact the you say that your ring finger replaces your pinkey.... I assume that it is due to a comftorability thing (most players (me included) have this), in that you are not as used to using your pinkey, this is a practice thing.

 

If one way is not working, try another.

 

Hope thsi helps a little and I hope I did not miss understand the ussue you are having.
