Before looking for streches it might be useful to think about what’s tight and why.

Is your shoulder tight or relaxed?

Is your forearm tight or relaxed?

How much bend is at your wrist?

How close is your palm to the neck?

How curled are your fingers?

For this position is your index finger tight to your pointer finger or loose?

Are you learning over the guitar to look at the strings?

I have a lot of trouble with all of these.. so I’m super conscious of body mechanics and form.

One thing I’m learning is that “relaxed” is key and when I tense up other muscles than just those needed to make the cord shape I’m making it harder.
