First off, let me apologize for referring to myself in third person in the subject line. It seemed necessary to grab your attention. "My broken
finger" would not have had quite the same impact. Hope you can forgive me.
Something bad happened. I broke something. I broke a finger. I broke my finger. The ring finger of my left hand, which is a pretty important finger when it comes to playing the guitar. Not only that, but I'm unable to use my middle or pinky fingers to play guitar either - try holding your ring finger straight, while bending both joints of your pinky or middle finger as if you were playing guitar. Pretty impossible, right? (Actually there are some people who can do this, but not very many. Certainly not me.)
But do not fear, for this could not stop me from playing guitar. I've already begun relearning how to play my guitar parts with my one functioning finger. I will be playing on our headlining tour in Australia, and I will be playing on our tour with Bayside back in the States. And for those of you in the Bay Area, come watch my first show as a one fingered guitarist this Thursday at the Rickshaw in SF.
As for now, back to relearning my guitar parts.
