I know I’m late! T.T but better later than never
Pinkie to Thumb = 183 mm
pointer to pinkie = 135 mm
pointer = 68 mm
middle = 75 mm
ring = 70 mm
pinkie = 57 mm

I used to blame myself by the measures of my hands I think they’re so small and then I see that I got almost the same measures of mcophie and Lori so I thought: “If one of the greatest guitar players got almost the same hands size as me that means that maybe one day I will be capable of playing like her” so I took my guitar wich is a Fender with a very slim neck and start playing the stream of passion solo at 190 bpm loudly (I’ve practicing really hard!!! I know that 190 bpm its Lori’s slow playing but when I play that fast I feel very happy since I’ve been playing for 6 months and no one’s teaching me) at 2:00 am so I learn today 2 things:
1.- My neighbors blame me, and blame my sons, and the sons of my sons and the pet of my sons of my sons…
2.- Size doesn’t matter if you keep hardworking.

Weird thing: the size of the pointer of men tend to be smaller than the ring because of the testosterone and in women the pointer is the bigger one because of the oestrogen.

I know my english sucks, sorry :S

also… set up a forum where everyone can rant about guitar shit! Guitarists improve the most by being influenced and shown extra tips by other guitarists using different techniques.

I’ve come to the conclusion that working out and excercise MAAAD improves dexterity and speed on guitar… yesterday I worked out for 2 hours and had a run, followed by a joint, then i picked up my guitar and noticed I was playing alot fucken faster than I normally would ever be able to, also playing songs that gave me troubles with ease. In my own opinion i’d say I was pretty fucken close to shredding on one scale last night, alternate picking each indvidual note… one more step closer to my ultimate goal… being able to shred… and being so good that a girl would give me a BJ while playing! (sorry lori don’t wanna offend you but that would be fucken awsome! it’s also just a joke me and my friend’s have ) I’d post my hand measurements but i don’t have a ruler… My hands are quite small, i’d say average length in my fingers but yet nice and slender.

I have the same problem, my fingers are only slightly bigger than yours and I’m male!
Here’s the measurements
Pinkie:59mm
Ring:71mm
middle:75mm
Index:64mm

Your right about neck joints being important, I’m hoping for a neck through Jackson RR24 next. I’m using an Ibanez S470 at the moment, it’s a real slim guitar with a nice neck, although the bolt on is annoying for sweeping when standing up on the thicker strings. I believe Herman Li has very small fingers as well.

Keep up the good work
Regards Nathan x

Pinkie: 65
Ring: 81
Middle: 86
Index: 82
Pinkie – Index: 170
Pinkie – Thumb: 221

sometimes have small hands suks because you can’t play liks like the awsome tapping of perpetual burn…when i saw the tab i dindÂ´t belive that someone can stretch his fingers fron the 5th fret to 12th fret…after all…the size isnÂ´t everthing a clear exapple of this is michael romeo who has small and fat handas but he kick ass…

pd: sorry , iÂ´m from chile so my english sucks a bit…
grettings…
