They just need more practice to strengthen their hands and develop more flexibility, so they can make those stretches.  The size of your hands can make a some difference, but for what most people play, it's not much of a factor.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I've been playing for over 45 years.  When I started, I never even thought that my small hands would keep me from playing.  It was only when I got a lot better that I realized that I still couldn't play some things and it wasn't due to lack of ability or practice.  So I just find a different way to play than what's in the book.  Who's going to notice that I left out a note or played a chord in a different position?  Maybe an instructor, but nobody else.<br><br>Short scale guitars can help.  Obviously nut width and neck profile matter too.<br><br>Anyone who thinks that small hands don't make a difference hasn't had to deal with it.  But you can still be a good player no matter what your reach is.]]></content:encoded>

I saw her forming F power chords and doing fairly well, moving them was another thing and that's where practice and getting comfortable with the shape comes in. I don't think he fingers were too short, though she probably said that too.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have heard that many times. I think it comes from peoples first impression upon picking up a guitar and not being able to produce a single note. They think they suffer from some physical deformity for not being able to play Sultans of Swing immediately. People really believe that playing guitar is magic, and far more difficult than it is. That's fine, just keep paying me.]]></content:encoded>
