That doesn't count then. You have to be able to play the 2 nots while keeping the stretch & preferably trilling.
I can trill between the 5th & 12th frets on my RG (25.5").
I would guess you could trill from the 4th to 12th so only 1 fret less than your stretch.
My Maverick is a 25" scale, but that's my downtuning guitar so the high E-string is a .013 gauge but i can still trill the 5th & 12th.

Well i can play just those two notes, but i couldn't go up and down the neck and play them fluidly. 4th and 12 I can trill.

@ rivera: ye i might have a late growth spurt but then again my mums only 4'11" so she might have stopped me from going any taller lol.. @ shapiro: when you do the big stretch can you do it without your 2 middles fingers going over and kinda behind the neck? or do your fingers just naturally go like that? because i find if i do 5th to 14th my fingers go over the neck like that..

thats good i thought it might have just been something with the way i was doing it.. im guessing if your going to do a big stretch like that your fingers need to kind of anchor themselves to the fret board.. unless of course your buckethead lol

Well when Gilbert is standing up straight, he looks 4 inches taller than Steve. I got Yngwie's height right. Woo-hoo.

Try this, compare your hands to each other. My left hand is really bigger than my right! Saw this in an interview with vai and i guess it's from guitarplaying?

Isn't 6 feet = 183cm? I'm currently 184cm and I don't know how that translates...
