Dealing with loss......My Finger......

[Ali2202]

Sat here looking at my guitar collection 3 weeks after losing half of my wedding-ring finger in an accident. Fret hand.

Feeling VERY low tonight about it all.

I know, I know. Django and Iommi....but I was really quite attached to that finger for most of my life.

Anyone one wanna buy a Gretsch Billybo? Barely used.

That's a complete bummer, you have my sympathies. How about learning to play with a slide and rediscover your inner bluesman?

st man. I'm very sorry to hear that.

Iommi & Django is right. Where there's a will, there's a way. Good luck friend.

A friend of mine has learned to play left-handed due to a finger injury, he tunes his guitar in the normal way and plays it upside-down.

Christ! I wasn't even that good the RIGHT way up!
