I greatly admire a fellow from south Georgia (US) named S.J. Hall. While I've met a few handicapped people who haven't let their handicaps get in the way of mastering musical instruments, S.J. is the only guitar player I've ever met who has overcome the handicap of totally losing his right arm. That's right folks, he plays the guitar with only one arm. How does he do it? Well, he uses an electric guitar (a Gibson ES-335) in open D tuning. He gets all of the sound by hammering on and pulling off, and by plucking open strings with his fingernails. And, no, his playing isn't just a "novelty" thing - he's really good.
