I have the same issue @jean.laurin58gmail.com . Fretting hand, .75 of the 1st joint.

Yes, there is less reach and some things are deemed impossible. I dont worry too much about it, the 3rd finger can do double duty most of the time. I have thought about switching hands, trying bass, or using a slide. A capo would shorten the distance between frets. You only need three fingers to make a chord. Some songs just get passed.

If you need some encouragement, have a look at a video of Jango (sp?). He does well with just a thumb and index finger.
