If you think your tiny hands are a hindrance and a curse, then think again!
Because I’ve got the ultimate in quick, quiet hand exercises that’ll have your fretting hand hitting notes you previously thought out of reach.
And the best part? It’s mostly silent! You can park up on the couch playing this exercise next to your spouse while you both watch Netflix, and they won’t hear a thing!
The key element to this exercise is adding a new range of motion and elasticity to your fretting hand.
But we also need to take some of your limiting self beliefs, like “my hands are too small” and “I’ll never reach those notes!” and kick them to the curb, asap.
I used to have a similar belief when I first started playing guitar. I thought my hands would only play the 4 frets I could reach at the time.
But I’m telling you, IF you put the work in, you will see massive, life altering results.
This exercise is simple, fun and guaranteed to get your hands stretching. Play this every day for a few minutes before you kick into your other songs and within a week you’ll notice the difference.
And all of a sudden, those small hands of yours are hitting frets and easily playing solos you didn’t think possible.
Enjoy!

Thank you. Just starting to try and learn at 60 and appreciate all the help I can find. Cheers...
Th u amigo
I am starting at 64.
Gosh, you can play the whole fretboard with your hand in the first position. Respect.
56 years old with Arthritis. Doc says “play that guitar “. So I’m doing it. Starting all over learning the basics. I have such a beautiful Blueridge BG-2500 Jumbo so I just hate seeing it sit there in the case. Here I go!
Any update?
Ya sticking with it ?
Update?
I do this for a minute at least 5 times a day...just another benefit of being a GMM member...learned this from Eddie a long time ago...great exercise and it works!
It worked! Went from 5-8 to 5-12 in 4 days! Thanks a lot.
4 days!? That's all it takes!?
WOW
P.S. When i was a teenager i have no idea why my teacher didn't make me practice this, i was learning to play guitar for a year and i quited.
5 to 12 is crazy, I've never done the exercise but i can only do 5 to 11
for me 5-9 currently, but i know 5-10 is limit as I have not huge hands compared to an average.
struggling with a 6 fret stretch on Mister Sandman. Literally practiced this for a minute and INSTANT progress! Probs first time a guitar drill worked that fast!!
Mister sandman 😂
Probs ?
I was delighted to notice progress during ten minutes of practice. My fretting hand pinky progressed from the middle of the eighth space to the eighth fret itself. Thanks.
I totally agree with your suggestion about sitting position. I believe every learning guitar player should be taught to hold their guitar (electric or acoustic) in "classical" position while sitting. Not just for finger stretching but also for health reasons; that position puts less strain on your muscles and nerves in your wrist and forearm. They will appreciate that lesson many years later ;)
I went to a guitar store and mentioned that I wanted to play my electric this way. The employee heckled me asking me why the heck I would want to do that… safe to say I bought my guitar elsewhere.
wow, it really works, i've streched my fingers for a minute, couldn't believe!
Wow 5th fret to about the 12th fret. Been playing for over 15 years, but I didn't think this was possible for anybody! I'll give that technique a try, thanks!
Thank you so much for this helpful video. I was so sad and frustrated with my little stubby fingers. You have given me hope! :)
Wow Eddie Great Lesson, at the beginning of your video my pinky stretched from 7th to 8th fret & by the time your 6 min video had finished I did what you explained & I can now stretch my pinky from the 7th to 12th fret.
Thanks. I had hand surgery about 20 years ago and my stretch is limited. Cannot reach 4 frets. But you video is an encouragement. I play classical.
You got this dude
It does physically matter if you have a shorter than normal pinky like I do. Mine is approx 10mm shorter than most, including yours. This is about a fret less than you can reach but I'll persist and let you know. Apparantly size does matter 🙂
So how'd it go? Did you stick with the practice? And did it help if so?
@@virid6819 The benefits of having the guitar sit higher on your body is important as your wrist is straighter with your hand to assist the stretches I think. Regardless of pinky size, the straighter wrist will benefit everyone. Thanks for asking 🙂
what is the average pinky length? Mine is 5.8cm long and I'm having an insanely difficult time playing my brother's kid-size guitar. I can't seem stretch further than 3 frets (7th to 10th)
Have you ever seen Segovia’s fingers ? They are sausages. Watching him and grinding out practical exercises like this gives me hope.
Just saw this video and it actually works, was able to reach one extra fret today, will keep working.. thanks a lot 😊
I have tiny baby hands. Hoping this'll help me reach more frets. Thanks for the tip, anything that's a gradual process seems believable to me, there are no shortcuts any guitar guru can give me so I trust someone who tells me it's all in the practice I do.
So did this help u ? I have baby hands too
Thank you for this lesson,5 yrs of slow progress but I’m still trying🤘
Great tips! Thanks! Love that beautiful Martin guitar too 😊
ive been playing the guitar for a few years, thought i was getting pretty good until i tried playing some 12 bar blues and i couldn't stretch my fingers to reach the finger on add on notes... so this helped thanks
I was having problems reaching with my pinky while playing a power chord that required my pinky to go down two more frets. This helped within a couple of minutes. I need to work on it some more, buy im confident that it'll work.
Thank God we have this lifesaver here 😌
Very interesting! Will be definitely giving this a go. Thanking you Robbbert from Melbourne Australia .😊.
I can’t thank you enough for this. (Though I’m a drummer and want to learn guitar) I was having trouble moving my fingers across the frets and putting more than 2 fingers on the same fret (though that’s another problem for another day)
All I did was move my thumb down a lil more and I was able to play the chord I was struggling with, with ease thank you😩
Im already a pianist with quite large hands, and i could barely do 4 frets with classical guitar. Now, im comfortablely doing 6 frets and doing 7 if i really stretch out those fingers to the absolute max. Has been working for a few days now.
Very helpful. Thanks. Sometimes just an extra eighth or sixteenth is all one needs to achieve an inaccessible chord.
Very true!
First try it worked and also it is going to help straighten my hand to create the space between my hand and fretboard. Thanks for the tip.
You just made my day. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Thanks. This was very helpful and I'll probably keep doing this, switching between frets is soo annoying for me right now so I'll keep going.
I cant even get beyond 3 frets LOL, i got small hands (short fingers), carpal tunnel, i have hypermobility in my fingers, ANDDDD I'm a beginner too, the worst combo to have but, this helped me out a lot! My pinky kinda hurts but I got past the fourth fret and super close to the fifth fret before my finger hurt too much to continue. Thank you so much for making this video!
yo, whats ur progress rn?
Guys just givin these helpful handys all over the internet
I see these little kids shredding the classical guitar and making crazy shapes and stretches so I have no room to complain 😂
i've been training an Ichika Nito's song (Orb), and that beatiful man just makes a chord stretching from 8th fret with the low E to the 15th fret high E. I was almost sure that the man has a hand of Golias, but after a few hours of this exercise i could (hardly) get my pinky from the 14th to the 15th fret. Still a lot to go throught to make it sound clean tho. Thanks for the help! This exercise is really helping a bunch
Very useful stretch/warm up exercise.I have been doing something else for years.This is better!Thanks.
great video, i have the oposite problem, how do you fit a giant mitt in 2 frets? haha
Thanks Eddie! Don’t forget about finger warm up and stretching as taught in your amazing course. You guys rock🏁
Really good stuff here. This is part of my practice routine now. Thank you!
Great lesson, Many Thanks, how long should I practice this every day?
Thanks Eddie appreciate all your videos and GMM.
I've had amazing progress since I've signed up .
One question how do you get rid of hand cramping
Oh wow, this helped a ton! Thank you!!
This was so helpful! Brand new and having a hard time fretting 5th string 8th fret in pentatonic scale. I was able to reach it immediately. Just need to make it strong enough to get a sound out of it now😅
Glad it helped!
Absolutely lesson and thank you for sharing your tips ❤
Thanks for this method in 3 days I went from only being able to do 5 to 9 barely to 5 to 12
i can't even stretch the first example you showed, i can in front of me very wide, but on the guitar with my hand shaped under the neck i simply cannot move the fingers to the next frets., and this past spring breaking my wrist and it affecting my thumb, it's even a bit more challenging, hope this video helps. and actually on the lower strings 6,5,4 i'm ok, it's when i get higher on the neck, the 1,2, and 3rd
Great tip. Thanks for the video.
My gosh! It worked 😂 i could’t reach from 1st to 5th thread no matter what but now i can 🥹
@ArchiveOddities yes
Really ❤❤
How long did it take?
@@cristianaguilar50883 years
threads?
Very well done and so simple! Why didn’t I think of that?
Can’t wait to try this!!
I have large enough hands to palm a basketball, but also have other factors against me. As I approach 60, instead of just doing chords like I've done all my live, I've decided to start working on mastering runs up and down the fretboard. Unfortunately, I've had injuries to all my fingers on my left hand with multiple surgeries. This has limited my ability to stretch out across frets, neutralizing the advantage of larger hands. Still, I think doing these stretches will help. It's probably going to take me 10 times longer because of age and injuries, but I'm determined to do lightning fast runs like 1 3 5 across all my strings. Thanks for the exerrcise ideas!
Be grateful you have large hands to begin with. I have small child hands and short fingers.
I’m over 65 and I’ve had a broken finger and arthritis in my hands … …man, trying to get back into guitar after a 40 year hiatus is hard!
My fingers are so stiff that it’s discouraging.
But I do remember practice makes perfect.
Oh how I wish I had those nimble 20 year old fingers again.
I was studying Blues scales before I had to stop because of a cross-country move all those years ago.
It’s like you have to develop a whole new mindset with the limitation’s.
I remind myself of the guitar players with missing fingers.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way!
40 years later, it’s like starting over from scratch, only harder.
Cool tip Eddie! This definitely help me get a grip on the neck! Seriously though, this is going make a difference for me. Thanks for all the quick tips and game changing exercises
I'm learning Californication and couldn't get the F note going to the next string on the 3rd fret. Lifting the guitar up did the trick!! How though?? And that's CRAZY how your hand stretches 7 frets!!
I can't wait to try this, thanks for this video 😁
This is a great tip. My thumbs keeps slipping from the neck the farther I go though and I don't know if it's bad or good. Should I keep pushing it or stay in a comfort level.
Going to start today. Trying to learn Run Run Rudolph by Chuck Berry. Having trouble reaching two frets f5 f6 chords.
You can do it!
Very helpful Eddie, thanks
Thanks Eddie,
I'll definitely start utilizing that exercise today. Unfortunately my hands & fingers are arthritic. Won't know until I try. Peace out brother
Yeah, I have some arthritis going on too. My son and I started playing at the same time and he is light years ahead of me.
i didnt know i could get from 5th to 11th fret i thought i can only to 5th to 9th fret thanks man
Thankyou Eddie , appreciate this so much,
No worries!
This helped!!!! I’m trying to play Si Supieras by Estabon Armando y Dannylux and the chords stretch to at least five frets
That was realy helpful! Thanks! 🎸
Whaaaat... from 5th to 12...waaooooo
I was feeling smug abt myself that I could stretch 5 frets 5th to 10th then he showed me what it means to surpass the limits...
awesome! thanks!
Thanks Eddie!
Came looking for this so i can do a 5 fret stretch for the power rangers theme tapping part
I love your videos man! Keep em coming!
Thanks man.
I can get a fairly good stretch of my fingers unfortunately my pinky is 1 inch shorter than my ring finger and that makes it rough for some stuff. Thanks for the tip
exactly and i have short finger to begin with. this guy has giant hands clueless. i cant reach the low E with my thumb.
This is awesome, thank you so much ❤
I cant even reach 4. I stuggle playing a c chord and i can barely do anything with my pinky. Im going to try this technique.
Doing this as a beginner on 11 gauge strings with high action :)
This will help to play Once Bitten Twice Shy!
Good exercise... thanks
I've got the opposite problem :(. I've got wicked stretch abilities but an 5 string A major shape barre chord is my nemesis. I usually leave off the "cheesecutter" e string and catch the rest with one finger past the barre 😂
Grande Andrea Mazzei
amazing bro thanks!
Yeah but how you manage to keep that space between the palm of your fretting hand and the guitar when u play the low E string ? Thank u btw fir the great lesson
By having my thumb on the upper back I only have two segments of my fingers left. I can reach frets out but yeah I have baby hands. The necks width is the full length of my hands
Sadly the problem for me is I can't move my pinky finger independently from my ring finger😢
same it looks like I got aline fingers or something
THANK YOUUUU
i can reach from second fret to sixth yay
Good stuff.
Your a legend bro, thank you for the video. Been struggling with this, your a Rockstar 🍻
I do this on my steering wheel to and from work 🎸🤟🍻
It's been 3 years now guys and I'm here to tell you that I can make it from the 1st fret to the 20th fret
Sheesh that's got to be a world record!
I can't bend my ring finger when playing G, any advice. I havent the biggest hands (no jokes please) It's really annoying as i havent a problem with the other basic chords. PS subscribed 👍👍 Regards - Andy
reach out to support@guitarmasterymethod.com and we can help with that. :)
Thank you sir ❤❤❤
I can actually put my fingers on 5 7 9 and 11. Didnt know i could stretch that far. I cant really do hammer ons stretched like that, yet, though
3rd week and till string 6
Does your thumb need to stay absolutely still or can I walk it across the neck too?
Your thumb moves along with your fingers.
Try to keep the tension on it as light as possible so you won’t injure it .
@@tracymatherson8174 thanks!
Do I do this with the other fingers to? Or just the pinkie
thx dude
Can you apply practice this to the other fingers ?
Does being double jointed make it harder?
Helps with frapping too.
So after a week of practicing this exercise I'm able to reach all the frets when I'm frapping. Thanks Guitar Mastery Method!
Goat
Crazy what the human body can do
Yes I admit my biggest challenge is stretching across the fretboard. Extremely frustrating. Fat fingers is the other. Dulling the string next to it...........GGGrrrrrrrrrr............
how long do i do this to finally get finished results? or does it depend on the person or something??
It definitely depends on the individual. But just stick with it and you'll definitely get the results :)
What would you recommend for somebody shot in the right hand I have a left handed guitar and a right handed guitar I've been practicing 3 to 4 hours a day could you please recommend something that might help me
Great! Thx! And… your fingers looks like a spider when you are showing it 👍😄
