    Thanks @Andrew, I’m not double-jointed but looking online it does seem to be the same problem that a lot of double-jointed players have. I think it’s more anything that requires a stretch rather than specifically barre chords. I found your lesson on increasing left hand reach and tried the first exercise there but my knuckle collapses as soon as my pinky reaches for the 8th fret, I have no control over it. I’ll keep trying and see if it gets any easier. Like you say, I think I need to train it to stay rounded rather than letting it collapse. I actually just found a suggestion online where you squeeze a clothes peg between your rounded pinky (with third finger for support if necessary) and thumb to strengthen it – I might give that a go too (once it has recovered from the Etude, it’s feeling a bit sore right now!) Thanks @kirpuff and @debb1985 for the encouragement too, it’s promising that you have worked through it and come out the other side! 😊

    Thank you for the kind words.☺️ I actually tried a lot to play faster but it is just not working for me. So far I haven’t figured out why. 🤔

    Steven,

    Thank you for your feedback; feedback is one of the best features of RC101.

    I enjoyed your verbal intro to the Etude and as a result looked him up. Fascinating life.

    Kind regards
    David
