Hi Neil,

I want to learn how to play "Time in a bottle", but its always the same issue...I cannot stretch my fourth finger to play the note on the 5th string and play that chord Dm/C#. I am paying attention to my hand position, and still its very hard for me. There are several other songs that have that kind of stretch and I am giving up and putting those types of songs on the bottom of my list to learn. Are there any finger exercises I can do to stretch that little pinky? I am beginning to think that my fingers are simply not long like yours.
