The other bit is that at the beginning all chords are going to be difficult to form. your hands have never stretched into these positions before. eventually your fingers and hands will get stretched out and be able to form the chords much more easily. be patient with yourself. There is a stretching class tony has up…. try going through that and using those before your practice. It may help get you there a little faster…. but really its just time and effort. Keep forming that G and if need be use the other hand to help you then switch to another chord and back … repeat often….don’t even need to play it … just while you’re watching tv etc… its just to stretch those hands out….

I imagine you will have trouble stretching to play 4 frets on the same string in some instances without picking up the first finger down as well…. this too is normal… its just getting your hands used to this new use…
