Trippy--

Don't feel like you can't accomplish learning how to play 'cause of freaky fingers. Everybody's different. There's some great advise here, so definitely try out some of these exercises.

But above all, please remember that when life gives you lemons, make lemonaide. Just remember the story of Django Reinhardt. The man played blazing solos with two fingers because of an accident, and had two fingers permanently curved. But he made it all work.

All the best,

Steve

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
