Reply To: Learning Left Handed or Fretting without a Pinky

[queenkobraxx]

Wow my band mate has the exact same issue. His dad told him at 6 yo that he would never be a guitarist due to the pinky on his left hand locking so he made him play bass. I’m normally a singer but recently started this guitar journey so I pursue writing. I actually have the opposite problem…I am a lefty having to play right handed due to a fracture in my right hand that left my ring and pinky too weak to press strings down hard enough! In my opinion it would have been more difficult flipping the guitar then adapting! Now he knows how to play guitar but struggles with 4 finger and barre chords. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! Now I can shut him down when he tells me he can’t….or we can at least try it!
