Question Need Finger Stretching Exercises

Hi everyone. It has been about a month since I have started playing the acoustic guitar but I am still having trouble stretching out my fingers. Do you have any exercises that can improve my dexterity and my ability to stretch out my fingers on the frets.

Look up Capo Lane in the free lessons. Start slowly and increase your speed. Good warm up. Helps you stretch.

Try playing a Cmajor scale starting with your middle finger on the C at string 6 at the eighth fret - only 4 frets required to cover the whole scale. And when that is easy try Kirk's lesson The Utimate Stretching Exercise which requires more of a stretch - here's the link:
