i just watched a few more youtube players doing the 074240 strech. those who are able to do it all have the unique ability to reach their pinky out REALLY far...

i noticed that my left hand pinky is about 5mm longer than the right pinky... so maybe if i keep on playing guitar it'll grow another 5mm and i'll be able to do it then...
I've noticed that it isn't as much about finger length as it is flexibility. I've seen players with short, pudgy fingers who can do amazing stretches because they have a lot of flexibility. The kind of exercises that I mentioned above will improve that . . . but don't hurt yourself! Build up to it slowly over time.
