Yep Django was an amazing guitarist considering the obstacles he had to overcome.
Another good example of a guitarist who didn't allow obstacles to defeat him was/is Tony Iommi (of Black Sabbath fame)
He lost the tops of his fretting fingers in a freak industrial accident, but he didn't give up, he made extensions himself using leather type caps to place on his fingers to enable him to play the guitar.
