I suggest it's a fine time to learn to play slide blues. If you can check out records (what are those?) and CDs at your public library, go down and find all the slide blues players you can and listen and mess around until you figure out what tuning they're using and start working. Slide blues is a very useful skill because you can play solo on an acoustic guitar or electrify and play with a band.

If you're into bluegrass and country, trade something for a resophonic guitar (Dobro) and work on that.

My own RA is controled now with meds but the day will come when my hands won't be up to the task. When that happens, I'll go to slide blues and bluegrass Dobro.

Keep on pickin', Bob.

      - Mark
