i'm 25. i don't have big hands, but i can reach an octave from the third fret on the two low strings

a ---10---
e ----3---

i can't reach an octave any lower than that. i really don't see the point, though.

but i can lick mike's eyebrows, too.

But my dog can lick his........................Ok, let's not go there :)

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

Mike didn't mention that his eyebrows hang down 6 inches. :wink:

I was hoping that no one would catch that Ricochet! :wink:

I can do 3 to 8 on my classical and actually do seven (high E) to 3 (A string) during a song ...I'm note sure if that guy was serious or not, but if he can do 3-10 i'd like to see a pic =P As to the original question....Either buy a classical or hit you hand with a hammer until it's big and flat (like 'fingers bald head) :D or practice.

Guitarin' isn't a job, so don't make it one.

Just to update everyone, I've got the 3-7 stretch down clean. Now I apparently must amputate my pinky and place it on the 10th fret so I can do a 3-10.

Thanks for everyone's help and encouragement.

Blame it on the lies that killed us, blame it on the truth that ran us down.

i don't have a web-cam. i have to use a little effort to get the last fret, and i doubt i could do it fast enough to use it in a song, but 3 - 9 is easy, and i can do 3 -7 with my ring finger.
my hands really are small to average, though. luckily, all the major damage i've done to my hands have been to the right one.
