XGlo, Really glad to see your not letting an injury stop you from playing! I'm in the same boat, I lost the feeling in my left hand from an accident and I know what you mean about being rusty. I played for a lot of years when I got hurt and I'm getting to the point where doing scales and chords are easy for me to do again and I'm working on getting some speed back. I just wasn't going to quit playing after years and years of practice. It's good to know there are others out there who feel the same way. Keep pickin and grinnin! John
