How Do You Spell That?

This is addressed to the guitarists of the world...

Every try to figure out any Police song? Without cheating and grabbing the tab off OLGA?

My question is how such a little twerp can reach across five/six frets on a regular basis without dislocating a digit after each song.

And yes, I admire Andy as a truly awesome guitarist but it would be nice once in a while if he just threw the rest of us a bone and wrote a hit song that didn't involve excruciating pain. :-)
