Well, as soons as my thumb is back in business I'd like some stretchy chords to practise.
I've seen dozens of these chords where you REALLY have to stretch to reach, and as I don't like stretching exercises, I'd prefer to practise chords instead.
I don't have the money to buy a chord book yet, so if anyone could post any stretchy chords they know of, I'd be more than happy!

Here's one: C13
X32335

And here's another: G minor-major 7
355373. If that semitone clash at the top is too much for you, you can mute string 1 (35537X)
This chord is very rare but there's a great example of it in the Pink Floyd song "Shine on you crazy diamond"
"You were (Gm) caught in the crossfire of (Gm maj7) childhood and stardom, (Gm7) blown on the steel (Gm6) breeze..."

Try stretching 3 octaves e 12th fret pinky e 9th fret and e 7th fret and funk the rhythm. also hit the low open e

Be very careful practicing stretchy chords. It is real easy to over do it and mess up your wrist. Short practice periods with lots of stretches.

I cheat, most of my method books come from the local library. Might be worth a check.
