@jaweaver14 so sorry you have broken your fretting hand!!! Hope you are on the mend soon! And Kudo’s to you for not letting it sideline your guitar journey!!
I have 2 suggestions for you, and you can use either one or both at once if you like (or neither one if you don’t, haha)
1. Try an open tuning or 2. Open G, Open D, DADGAD are all great open tunings to try.
2. If you’re interested in learning fingerstyle, especially if your fretting hand is in a cast, try Giuliani’s 120 exercises for the right hand. It’s for classical guitarists, but it would suit you very nicely as you try out some intricate right hand fingerstyle. Most of these exercises in this book just switch between C major and G7 anyway, so all you’d need is to put your guitar into any open tuning and go thru all the right hand exercises. You will be a master fingerstyle player by the time they saw your cast off!!
Best wishes and get well soon!!!!!
