Ben–

My quick recommendation is to go into TAC’s “Skills Courses” section, and from there, go into the “Getting Started” section. You’ll find a “Daily Stretch” lesson there.

Go thru it. Period.

I do some stretching EVERY practice session, but I don’t go to the extent that Tony goes thru in his lesson– but– even if you just do part of his stretching routine– it will help a lot. And not just at the start of a session– stretch your hands out once or twice during the session.

Another trick is to deliberately “overstretch” and extend that C chord by an additional fret. Work up to this- don’t hurt yourself- (don’t laugh– it can happen!). You’re not caring what it sounds like if you do this– you are only trying to make it seem easy when you go back to the C chord.
