Thanks again for the responses, I decided to involve a mirror and take some pictures that clearly show my wrist. 1) Shows the best fingers but the most crane.2) Shows how I would normally play (less crane, but worse finger angles).3) Is my attempt at the hand angle Pebber Brown is using in "How to Practice Scales" (I tried to post the link but I got "Your posts contains to many links. A maximum of 0 links is allowed", it may not be obvious, but my 1st finger is touching the fret wire with no pre...

Hey Farelli," "The Entertainer" by Scott Joplin"-> looks it up....Yup, you are right.Your points on stretching / making stretches are well taken, I tried to take some pictures of where I currently am on a "regular" stretch (1-5 fret low E with 1,2,3 fingers). "Normal" would be if I stop myself when I'm actually playing, my wrist seems okay, but you can see the 1st and 4th fingers really are about half way in-between the finger tips and finger pads, and my 3rd finger is a bit too far over the top...

Just live with it?-side note: sigh...my pinky just does not want to get with the angle program...

Hello musicalhair,are we looking at the pad of the finger? Is your finger nail in back of what we're seeing?-> I've added a second picture that should help explain what you are looking at (I guess it could be confusing if you didn't take the picture). The purpose of it was to demonstrate that when I look for "lines" on my finger(s) where I'm actually contacting the strings (on scale runs / not chord/barre shapes), I'm usually at or between Ideal / The Yellow Line. I was trying to establish how f...
