Hi guys. I'm looking for some advice. I'm right handed and lost half of my thumb on my left hand in 2017 in a motorcycle accident a couple months after starting to play electric guitar. I haven't played since, so really would be looking at starting all over again. I have about 2cm of thumb on my left hand from the knuckle, which articulates normally, but from the tip to the first joint was amputated, so unless I completely change my hand position, I can't hit the first string with Ol' Stumpy.
I'm wondering whether I should just learn to play with this limitation (mostly like rock and metal) or switch to a left handed guitar, which wouldn't be my dominant side. Thoughts?
