good post nic,in my 20,s i played a bit,[poorly],then a work accident took from me the ability to curve my left hand for any period of time,the old 12 string sat in a corner for 25 or so years until,while recovering from a hip replacement a couple of years ago i discovered c.b.g,s,have since made a few,but more importantly,have started playing again,[still poorly],but enjoying it.not to mention the comfort of a group of almost 100 pc,helpfull,people ready to help with the sometimes stupid questions i throw up,enjoy and rock on.

I have a similar story Nicholas but not the result of a fight, but an encounter with a pane of glass - i am not the fighting kind...a writer not a fighter!

I came to do many things with the loss of use of my left hand - i learned to ski, i became a black belt in self-defence...my instructor said the only problems with my arm could be in my head...and so it was! I found a series of good jobs in retail and made my way to my present position in a Security team, so confident hardly anyone except those working close to me knew i had any problem at all as a series of operations gave me back some use, enough to hold a pick, albeit an adapted one...

I messed around with various stringed instruments for years and played right handed, but in my new situation changed to left handed 11 years ago, i had a lot of trouble picking individual strings and played some rhythm songs on six strings but worked at it, at first i broke a lot of top strings as i was thrashing the guitars i owned and sold but with years of perseverance still found i was still jealous of those finger pickers!

I gave up for a year or two before seeing John McNair and Mike Snowden on youtube, and Seasick Steve on Jools - it was revelatory, and before i knew it i joined CB Nation, built my first CBG and even wrote my first song, it all came together and as the months went by more guitars and more songs flowed out, and even the odd gig with supportive friends on the Nation - i was amazed to find the confidence to play in front of an audience, still got a lot to learn but having a lot of fun...there is  a lot more to life than music but it is my main interest and sure helps when things get sticky!  (-:

keep at it ! (-;
