    Hi everyone, I joined the wonderful world of TAC yesterday and have begun my journey with the 30 days to play course. The 1st exercise is Practice Fretting with the Blues Shuffle. I have small hands and there is no way (at the moment) that I can play the 2nd fret with my index finger and the 4th fret with my ring finger like Tony unless i literally take my hand off the neck and sway/hop with my hand between the two frets. Is this an acceptable way to play? I can’t reach the 4th fret with my ring finger whilst my index finger is on the 2nd fret. I have read this thread and other members have mentioned stretching exercises. Can someone please point me at a resource for this? Also thinking is it worth buying a 3/4 guitar? At the moment I have a Tanglewood Nashville III.

    Many thanks,

    Michael from a sunny but bluesy Liverpool
