Trylle

Thanks for the tips from everyone, and the correction advice. 

I feel like I should point out I'm actually left handed and sword fence, which doesn't help with the mobility or stretching of my fingers, but all the sword control is index finger and thumb, and a little wrist action depending what you're guarding.

So the position isn't uncomfortable for me, but I'll try dropping my thumb a little.

I've seen a lot of tips for one finger per fret saying you'll be able to stretch your pinky with practice. My issue is my ring finger curls towards my middle finger, making it a chance between hitting the second or third fret in the position.
