I believe he might have even attained the status of guitar god with them

I'd say he does a pretty decent job with those big stumpy paws!

Like others have said - your fingers get "skinnier" with practice, as the fretboard becomes familiar territory. Similar to how you have to slowly/carefully place your fingers and watch them carefully to form each chord in the beginning - and after a while you can finger a chord without really thinking or looking.
