Gentle little ditty
I posted a piece over on a different forum about a beautiful Eadd2 chord. Anyway here's a bit of a cleaned up version on my nylon stringed guitar.

I probably never listen to how other songwriters write their songs, I just write on using my own imagination. windsong

Doug,
Nice piece of work with some tuff chords. I would definitely say you had to extend yourself on this one.

Thanks very much everyone. It's really just a simple I IV V progression but Eddie's right - that I chord is a difficult beggar. It's an Eadd2 (I think) 0241xx - quite a stretch. But a beautiful sound.

Doug,
I tried it a number of times unsuccessfully.

So did I. Quite a number! 
Maybe try shiftiing your thumb on the back of the neck. Try lifting the neck up towards a 45 degree angle. The wrist has to be down and almost infront of the guitar. Just try moving around - sometimes it's not obvious but that little shift makes things work. And you can always try capoing up a bit - the frets are closer together up the neck.
And it depends on your fingers too. I think my fingers tend to be on the long side - my teacher has commented that I seem to be able to extend easier than some. I'm not saying that I find it easy, though.
