Fractured finger

[Vince]

Slide is a very good idea, it’s very addictive and uses fewer fingerz.

Slide is a very good idea; it’s very addictive and uses fewer fingerz.

Now who's going to do the spelling?

Dunno... I'm just a grammar nazi.

Dunno either, but I've often wondered how to correctly use the semicolon. I've only just got the hang of the Oxford comma.

Cracked a bone in my left hand 10 days ago. Got full movement back but can't put pressure on the ring or pinky fingers. Hamo, we should jam. Between us, we night make a complete guitarist.

But completely what?

There you go. The amusing version, and the geek version. It's really quite simple, actually.

Next lesson: apostrophes.

Just had a good couple of hours playing. Fucking sore, and severely limited in my playing.

At least you're playing.

If you're limited, it's a good opportunity to embrace the BB King principle:

You don't have to play many notes, as long as each of them is the right one.

Well that sucks balls then! Severely enough to stop you playing?

[jimi]

Time to invest in a drum kit then?

[jeremyb]

Switch to bass?

[calling card]

CBF is a much greater injury. Find a way.

I hope not. I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet, but it was sucky. Power chords, barre chords, scales all caused great pain. I spent the bulk of the time trying to re-learn Satriani's Day At The Beach, but even that required hammering on with the injured finger, which was frustrating.

The thing that bums me out the most is knowing that if I want to find out exactly what's wrong and if there's any realistic way to fix it, it's gonna cost a bundle, even if I can claim a bunch back on insurance. And you know me and money...

Never get that one past the wife! Or my innate lack of timing...

Switch to bass?

In all seriousness, I'm just not ready to give up on the guitar.

CBF is a much greater injury. Find a way.

I'm looking, I'm looking!
