    Good luck. I have had two surguries and one needle proceedure involving my index, 3 and 4 fingers over the years. Be vigilant with the post op exercises. Use that hand as much as possible.

    Any chair without arm rests should work well. But for a solution specific choice, here is what I would choose, from Amazon or just about any music store. https://a.co/d/09wf8IlL

    I am pretty sure he uses Guitar Pro. Regardless, I find input is easy, either by note or tab, can show one or the other or both, and prints well. Pretty much fully customizeable, but it is not free.

    For what it is worth, I like the Dunlop Ultex Triangle, .60mm. It may be bcause of its large size for my stubby fingers. 1 1/4″ wide and long. Fairly soft but does not slap like thinner picks. Experiment with less expensive versions before you have to dig deeper into your wallet!

    @petelanger Adding my 2 cents, I am a Positive Grid Spark user. They have a few options that might suit you, but that is a hardware option. One is an amp in a headphone. FYI, Positive Grid also have “Bias” which is a software version for your PC.

    Their amps are affordable and you just turn on the built in pedals. Be mindful of the output power though as some models are designed for home use only.

    I have the same issue @jean.laurin58gmail.com . Fretting hand, .75 of the 1st joint.

    Yes, there is less reach and some things are deemed impossible. I dont worry too much about it, the 3rd finger can do double duty most of the time. I have thought about switching hands, trying bass, or using a slide. A capo would shorten the distance between frets. You only need three fingers to make a chord. Some songs just get passed.

    If you need some encouragement, have a look at a video of Jango (sp?). He does well with just a thumb and index finger.

    Thanks, @Loraine . I am also having some numbness which is supposed to subside in a few months. The therapist said guitar is very good for the recovery. All in all, I am confident that I will overcome the issues.

    OMG, my bad. Not Ultimate Guitar. It is Guitar Pro. It will write in Standard Notation or Tab, As well, you can display/print in both or either one.

    Sorry.

    @Marty73 I made a similar mistake with a public post. My account is blocked. I have had no success in resolving the issue. I can’t even subscribe to any channels.

    I am pretty sure it is Guitar Pro. You can write in Tab or Standard and display either or both. I use it. There are a few others but GP is one of the standards.
