Since I smashed the ring finger of my picking hand in the front door (fraturing the bone) I have been working on my fretting hand. I've got a big ol' bloody gauze wrapped splint on the sore finger.

I can pick, just not very quickly or accurately. So I am doing doing things that increase the dexterity & stretch of my left-hand & which increase fretboard awareness.
 
I had a similar experience a few years ago when I was cooking and seriously slashed my left index finger [almost removing the tip entirely]. obviously i was unable to practice at all with my left hand for a few days so i did a lot of right hand work then. I'm still exceptionally anxious with a knife in my hands after that experience.

I'm *powerful 'fraid* of doors right now.

near me, or I might just kick you in the canucks (;) :rotflmao:;)).
 
Hey Tot
Well I guess you got the guitar bug too, we just can't put 'em down no matter how hurt we get lol. Good idea though, I should start working on my fretting hand some more too.

Hope your finger gets better soon dude.

If Roland comes across a door labeled "The Tot" you're going, like it or not.

Well the door is better than those monster lobstrosities, the ones that chump off two fingers in one bite, eh?
You don't have to tell me..they've been following my bloody oozing finger around all night with their lawyerly arguments.

No percoset for me tonight!!!
