Not sure this post is very visible as I have a notification it's at least 120 days since last posted to.
However, the title is just what I want to post on so I'm keeping my fingers crossed I'll get some responses.
Last Christmas I started on the first lesson of the IM Blues rhythm course but struggled so much with the first lesson shuffle that needs a giant stretch (for me) of 5 frets, from 8 to 12 that I gave up and for a year I've been doing the finger stretching exercise TE-007 hoping to improve my stretch so I could do the shuffle exercise.
Unfortunately I still can't do it and I think it's my little finger that is the problem because with the blues shuffle it has to be placed on the 5th string while the first is still pressing on the 6th. not quite the shape of stretching on the same string. and suggestions for exercises to overcome this problem?
