@silverthewerefox Practice practice practice, i just reached the point beeing able to do it :P My personal tip would be to stretch your fingers at least 2 or 3 Times a day so your fascia becomes more stretchy, also nice: every degree of temperature makes your fascia more stretchy by round about 50% ;) your biological disposition has got to learn the movements :)

I'm having troubles reaching from 2 on E to 4 on D with my 1st and 3rd fingers. Does anyone have any advice on how to improve my reach?
