Hello all, I have just joined up and had a good look around, and like those above in this thread I have difficulty in the stretch of ring to pinky 3 to 5. I can only do it by shifting my first finger out of first position. I have come from the Jimmy Bruno method where his 5 shapes are all very contained and I am just not used to these stretches. I can manage it with middle to pinky. The arpeggio presents no problem. I understand Richie’s answer regarding consistency of fingering and the benefits later on, but I am worried that my hands are too set in their ways. I have been playing for very many years and I wonder if it is too late to start learning such a different approach. I guess I have month to find out.
