The voicings are really interesting, and sound great, although quite a few of them are pretty rough on the left hand, and I have reasonable sized hands and a reasonable left hand stretch. There's a _huge_ amount of material to assimilate if you really wanted to dig in.
The stretches will be ok in a few weeks. It's only the new stretches that will be difficult.
I have an ulnar nerve problem in my left hand, and large stretches between 4th finger and the rest has caused me problems for years. I can make _big_ stretches, in terms of flexibility, I just can't hold them for long without fatigue and eventually increasingly levels of numbness and pain.
I also have to avoid doing a lot of 3nps or 4nps scale work, too. Little intermittent chunks are fine. Same with big Holdsworthian chords. Little chunks are fine, nothing persistent or sustained.
But, some of the Vitchev voices are nice enough that I'll put some work in to find the ones that work for me.
