Lesson 7 and the fret 2 to fret 7 stretch.

[Stephanie-NoelDodt]

I am physically small at 5'1" with a palm measurement on my left hand of 6 1/4 inches. Thank God for Griff's suggestions on hand and thumb position in the video. I actually did it and took a left hand selfie of it. To make a full disclosure, I was on my Gretsch Jim Dandy parlormguitar with a 24" scale. I will later see if I can do this on my Godin Fifth Avenue CW II which has a scale length of 24.7". I'll just keep doing on the Dandy and maybe I can eventually do it on the Godin if I can't right now.

In my experience if you keep on trying this workout will become easier. When I first started with this 4 months ago I could only manage 12 bars. Now I can keep on for over five minutes. Just keep on keeping on.
