I am a former guitar player who had a crushing injury to my left hand about five years ago. After two years of traditional therapy, I dug out my old Eko guitar and very slowly began to play notes at first then a few basic chords.The results are amazing. I just wanted to let anyone in a similar situation that thre is hope.

Great to hear. For me personally, it sounds like the most fun way to rehabilitate. And good to hear that the results are great! Congratulations! :-)

Congrats, Buzzy!

I used to teach guitar lessons to a young boy who had injured his hand in an accident involving a power saw. Not sure guitar was exactly his passion, but the hand exercise was really really good for his recovery.

Welcome back to the guitar!

It's been good for my RSI's.
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
