the standard notes on the fretboard…

Practice, stretches and time will help…. watching tiny kids with tiny hands play full size classical guitars and flying over the fretboard like they own it gave me hope that one day my small fingers will get more agile… 😉.
good luck and happy playing 🙂

Hi Glenn
what system do you use? the PDF seems to be working fine on my Mac, where i’m able to type and save without having to convert to Word…

Hey Glenn, welcome! Feel free to post videos on improv wednesdays (in daily challenge)… or even anytime with your chosen tunes to inspire us all 😀

I agree with Moose… shorter regular sessions until you get good healthy calluses 😉

hey @zman , I’m guessing you are pretty new at guitar playing? The issue you are describing is very common for new players, regardless of the length or thickness of fingers. Lots of guitar players have short and big fingers…. As Albert said, you will gain flexibility and span as time goes to your practice. I would not advise you to spend lots of money buying new and expensive guitars just because they have a narrow neck, they can have other negatives with thicker fingers muting adjacent strings… But by any means, do go to try some at guitar stores and speak to sales advisers.
There are warm up exercises and stretches you can do to help getting your fingers more flexible, try to do them before your daily practice and with time and patience you will be pleasantly surprised 😉
Good luck

If you’re hooked you should bring it! travel guitars are light enough, right? 😉

Some wood filler and strong glue… could make a nice guitar for a beginner or a child with neat looking homemade repair… ?
That being said, very sorry about this unfortunate accident, lovely guitar
