How do you get your fingers to stretch for guitar?

[Metal Health]

I am currently trying to learn " Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones. It's really easy but I can't get my fingers to stretch. I am not a beginner but I've never tried anything where I had to stretch my fingers. Do you experts have any tips or stretches for me to try

I play bass but I do runs ... four frets long ..high note to low note...then on to the next four frets..all the way up and down the neck. I do this for atleast a couple mintues before I start to pratice.
Really helps with finger dexterity.

I generally recommend Justin's website and Youtube videos. It's FREE, no If’s and but's.

The single greatest thing a beginning (or any) guitarist can learn is all 5 shapes/positions of the minor pentatonic/blues scale, learning all 5 positions smoothly and efficiantly will allow you to do all kinds of cool stuff, including index to pinky stretches. I can't stress this enough,.....yes,.....it's that important if you want to get good fast.

Thanks. I have checked out his Youtube videos and website in the past. I will watch the video but I personally prefer Martyz songs. Justin has better song selection but I don't really like his teaching style.

Here's a hint: Do not watch MartyZSongs. I used to watch him when I was first beginning. Then I would go to class and play the stuff I learned and it is ALL wrong. My guitar teacher (Who's been playing for 30+ years) would have to teach me the right ways to play all the stuff. As for finger stretches, just practice every day. My fingers don't like to stretch either but the more i practice, the easier it gets.
