No problem. I met a guy who plays lead in a blues band using only his left thumb for fretting.

It does yer heart good, to see somebody that has a disability or infliction of some sort, that most people would say "mate you havent got any arms, let alone hands or fingers, you dont stand an icecubes chance in hell of playing the guitar", and to adapt and learn to play it another way shows the commitment and real passion for getting out there and giving it a shot regardless...

There was another post round here somewhere about a one handed bass player..
Another thing that springs to my mind was a movie floating around emails for a while about a 2 legged dog, that grew and adapted to walk/run/jump/skip and hop on 2 legs...

Good stuff, he plays geetar better than I do...
