Wow, I applaud your courage in not giving up and your willingness to continue your music journey in spite of such a major obstacle. One other thing you might consider is trying to play overhand. There’s a local guitarist Sam Snyder, better know as Overhand Sam. He’s with the band Maybird, who recently cut a record deal and are touring. When Sam first got a guitar as a lad and was learning to play, he broke his left wrist while skateboarding. He wasn’t about to stop practicing for the 8 weeks he was in a cast, so taught himself to play while in the cast with his hand over the fretboard. He was making enough progress when the cast came off that he stuck with it, and he’s really good. On another note, I got to see Coco Montoya last summer, and he’s left handed but plays a right hand guitar upside down with no change to the string sequence; I couldn’t help but marvel at how anyone could learn with everything the opposite of what is conventionally played; both of these examples show what can be done with desire and drive. Good luck, George, you’re the man!
