I remember when I was first learning to play guitar I had to really stretch to play a power chord. Looking back I can't believe it, however now I can play D shape and Dm shape bar chords, which maybe a year ago I was talking to somebody and said that they were basically theoritical (just illustrates you can raise each of the notes of a chord to get another chord...not actually playable) and now I can also play a G shape bar chord which I wouldn't even dream of when I said D and Dm shapes are just theoretical.
So basically how well you can fret difficult shapes isn't so much as the size of you're hand, but how long you've been trying to move 'em in ways that only a guitarist would.
Also I can fret the 1st and 6th frets, and the 7th and 14th but I've needed to.
If you learn how to play songs, then you learn songs. If you learn how to improvise, then you learn music.
