Apparently but I’m sceptical. I can do the stretch no bother, but trying to get the middle finger back to the g string second fret just isn’t happening. Not without pain and pulling all of the other notes out of tune anyway.
I find that chord difficult enough to play on the fourth fret (first chord of Prefab Sprout - Johnny Johnny) - like, it actually hurts. To the extent I wouldn't dream of playing it any closer to the nut.
E2a: I've got fucking tiny hands, though, which doesn't help.
