Hello @jim33 ,
I agree with @Loraine that we just have to do the best we can and slowly but surely things get better. And there are usually specific exercises we can do to speed up our progress.
Try this: place you hands palm down on a flat surface with your fingers splayed out. Then try lifting them one at a time. Try doing this in certain patterns. Also, try it in a rhythm. At first, it will seem nearly impossible and your hands will tire very quickly. But if you do this daily, after only a week you will notice definite improvement. This will help a lot with finger independence and stretch on the guitar.
