Hey, fellow guitar fanatics!
Background: I‘ve been playing guitar for a while and have noticed that I don‘t generally have the best „spread width“ between my fingers (I don‘t have the biggest hands anyway, for that matter; they‘re not particularly tiny, but certainly not the biggest in the game when compared to some other players). I notice this problem especially concerning the ring finger (or between the middle and the ring finger, to be precise; I can‘t even do the famous Vulcan salute properly), to some extent also concerning the pinky. On top of that, using those fingers independently also feels rather messy. I know that these are somewhat common problems plaguing a fair amount of players, and I have done my research concerning the anatomy of the hand, coming to the conclusion that I have pretty tight or short „Connexus intertendinei“ (tendons that are linking the fingers).
My question: What are your recommendations to really improve spread (and dexterity to top it off)? Stretches, finger / guitar exercises (I already know the basic ones( spider, playing scales etc.)),...
I would be greatly appreciative of any feedback on that!
Cheers and stay safe!
