I can play open chords, but can't get barre chords down at all, and can't move between most open chords quickly enough.
Spanky,

Don't think you can't play good because you have small hands. I've got the smallest hands out of all my friends that play, and I can play a heck of a lot better than them. It's all practicing and stretching though. Albeit I used to practice about 4 hours a day for a few years, your hands def. shouldn't dictate how good you can be.
