Topic: Hiatus

Sliced my index finger open on the dull side of a knife last night, ending my barre chord playing for the next 2 weeks or so. Dammit!

Time to pull out the four chords and the truth songs that you play open.  Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, John Prine, and Guy Clark have been waiting for you.

Re: Hiatus

Haha. I'll give that a shot. Open G gave me a fit last night (and opened the cut back up) cuz I hang the third pad of my index finger kind of around the back of the neck of my guitar.

Maybe I'll just super glue the cut and take my chances.

Re: Hiatus

Ugh.  Good luck.  Whatever you do, keep it clean.  Hand wounds can get infected easily because they touch so much miscellaneous stuff.

Re: Hiatus

I hate when that happens.  Lets hope it heals fast.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Hiatus

Slide guitar is another option,I orderd a steel jet slide it fits on your finger like a ring and lets you play both chords and slide cost me over 20 bucks but I like new ideas cant wait to get it hope the finger heals fast smile

Re: Hiatus

That's a nasty accident, BGD ... hope it heals quickly so you're back at it real soon.

Re: Hiatus

Just be glad it was the dull side that bit you. The business side could have put you out for a long time.
