Thread Name: Guitar set-up for missing digits
Subject: RE: Guitar set-up for missing digits
I suggest your friend try the fretted dulcimer. She can play melody or chords and the missing fingers won't matter nearly so much.
I use a thumbpick on right hand. The thumb plays the melody and the other fingers are free to sound accompaniments.
I tune mine DAA, and almost all chords can be made with two fingers.
