I am a guitarist without real fingers on my fretting hand

I'm not much of a sharer. But I've seen some pretty cool stuff from disabled musicians, so here's my take.

I was born with a disfigurement in my left hand, I do not have any bones in my fingers, leaving me with the 'nubbins' many people with my congenial condition also have and limited dexterity in my wrist. Of course, I adapted despite my missing digits and carried on learning and doing things the way I wanted, albeit a little differently.

Im from the UK and I love The Cramps, Link Wray and 1950s guitarists such as Grady Martin and Carl Perkins.

Edit: Firstly, thankyou so much for all of your kind messages.

To answer some FAQs:

Video is flipped. I'm playing right handed here. Right handed guitar.

Tunings: basic open tunings. Either E, Eb or D

Have I tried playing left handed?: Yes! I can play left handed. Albeit with the strings upside down. When I record, I sometimes record general chord patters left handed and riffs right handed.

I started out on bass when I was 13, my friend used to leave his guitar at my house which I ended up claiming. When I was about 17 I started learning to play left handed. However, I've always been more comfortable playing right handed (personally, I don't think I'm all that good left handed)

And to correct a few, I know I have a pink guitar and long hair. But I am a fella 😅

Lastly:

I'd like to post another video this week (I'm going away on a birthday trip for a couple of days) to play something a bit more intricate. I love blues and batshit rocknroll, hence the riff. It's from one of my own songs I've yet to finish, if you've read one of my replies, I've suffered with depression and anxiety for some time and haven't finished a project in ages. But thank everyone for their kind messages, I might just take my hand out my butt and get to work ✌️
