Story of the 6-String

They all (the doctors) say I can’t play the guitar, ever, no matter how hard I try. My left hand has a congenital deformity which makes my middle and ring finger move “only” in a jerky way… the tendon groove is missing for these fingers, and every time i flex them, the tendon slips in-between my fingers and locks! This makes it theoretically impossible to play right handed guitar… but now its an ego-issue.. and now I have to play it!

I tried to play normal right handed.. did pretty okay! Planning to get a guitar, for the extra motivation and practice. Wondering if I should play the Hendrix way (right hand guitar, played with the left hand) or go for a real left handed guitar, or just keep trying hard and learn to play the right hand guitar normally… If any of you has ever had such an experience, please do share !!

Will keep you guys updated !!

Cheers!
Arjun
