The thumb is so overlooked in stretches! With proper thumb position you can get 5-6 frets sometimes - maybe not in first position.

On the bass you can even use the side of that same thumb to fret a note and then stretch up with the pinky. Hopefully there's an alternate fingering for those kinds of things though :)]]> Bass Players Discussion DemoEtc https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/stretching-fingers/#post-192479 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/stretching-fingers/#post-192457 Mon, 07 Aug 2006 15:34:51 +0000 Bass Players Discussion Musenfreund https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/stretching-fingers/#post-192457 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/stretching-fingers/#post-192419 Mon, 07 Aug 2006 06:03:28 +0000 Bass Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/stretching-fingers/#post-192419 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/stretching-fingers/#post-192407 Mon, 07 Aug 2006 04:58:31 +0000 Bass Players Discussion katrat https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/stretching-fingers/#post-192407 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/stretching-fingers/#post-192403 Mon, 07 Aug 2006 04:47:13 +0000 Bass Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/stretching-fingers/#post-192403 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/stretching-fingers/#post-192369 Mon, 07 Aug 2006 00:05:04 +0000
