Nor is it the case with me. I started playing guitar at 16. Throughout the years, my pinky has not straightened out. I'm 36 now so these are my hands for life. Don't feel bad though, a lot of guitarists have jacked up fingers and they do fine. You just have to adjust certain hand positions to allow your hands to do what they need to do. You've gotta be right here Tom, One of the big things that really kills me is doing work with the 3rd and 4th fingers while holding a barre F shape with the 1st and 2nd fingers. Yet Tomatito, Paco, Ramon de Algeciras...and a heap of other do it with ease. I'm pretty small, at 5ft 9", but a LOT of Spanish players I've met are even smaller, with even smaller hands and have no problem. The difference is that they had the same problem, but practised their way out of it IMO. cheers, Ron (Hey...think of poor old Simon there, who is still finding it unusual to play an F shape without his thumb over the neck and gyrating his hips at the same time.. ...only joking Simon.. )
