I don't know if my last finger is too short or what, but I can't play the tab like this

---------------------
---------------------
----10--------------
-----7---------------
-----7---------------

I just can't reach 10th fret with my last finger .... is there any technique for that? The farthest I can reach is 9th fret, then my finger starsts to slip up if I try to go for 10th.

Thanks.

Keep working at it. Eventually you'll be able to stretch farther. Also drop your thumb to the middle of the back of the neck. That will let you reach farther as well.

Be patient!

i had the very same problem as i think everyone did when they first start, try streching exercises with your fingers when your not playing. you will be suprised how soon they will strech .........lets call it finger yoga :wink: ...omm ommm omm, good luck, smoke
