Thanks for the info. This realy blew up more than I thought it would. My fault for not making my point a little more clear. My whole intentions were to say that if Malcom or Angus were making that kind of stretch then their hands are way out of portion to their stature. I have to jump back and forth to make it work. Thought it woud be cool if I could lift off the 5th string just enough to seperate the notes and place my fingers in a stretch on the 6th string notes.
