I tried as hard as I could my fingers just won't stretch that much. I bent my elbow in as far as it could go too. Is there any alternative chord? I can do the other 3 but this one is impossible...

I wish I had big hands

[jsgksu]

are your hands pretty small compared to other people? I just tried it and its not that bad of a stretch, and I havent played guitar lately at all.

[littlefriend]

Just mute the D string. It won't sound as full, but it'll do.

Code: Select all

And Jayme, I agree that it's a pretty big stretch. It's pretty much the same as that Billies stretch.

wow my index finger looks gross

just keep stretching. you'll get it eventually. the more you play the more your fingers stretch.

can you play PNP? cause it's the same chord if you can

[NJPearce22]

can you play PNP? cause it's the same chord if you can

Same shape, yes...but fret size is different though.

that is true

[Grachi]

yea I play PNP but it's not a stretch like that one at all. No my hands are normal. They just aren't long and lanky.

Yea muting the D string works really well actually thanks for the tip.

I've been playing dave songs and stretches for awhile so I don't maybe this is like some supreme stretch or something. I went back and tried it and I made the stretch, but it sounds horrible and muted cuz my hand is in the most awkward position just to get it right.

freaking stretches

[Sciaracastro]

i think it's similar to Billies stretch.
the only way to get that stretch is to move ur hand from the 7547 to the 5426 taking all the time u need to get the position, then speeding it up a lil bit, and so on.

personally, i think Crash is still the best (worst) bitch b/c u have to stay in the same position forever...anyway, a bit of practice is all u need

PNP is way easier.

That chord formation is like 20 times easier than

Especially if its played where the first Captain chord is... I can't hit it cleanly at all.

For me anyway.
