My hand is actually physically deformed now. When I flatten it, my hand looks like this Image I can't get my fingers to go straight and when I try to play with them. They get in the way of my other fingers because when I grip they curl towards my index and middle.

I don't like to retune my guitars, so I've got on first guitar "EADGBE" and on second I've got "DADGAD" tuning (for experimenting).

My fingers are reversed jointed. So I play palm out.

Buxom-you broke your hand in 5 or 6 separate places....maybe you should stay away from these places.

Usually Monday mornings I tend to be tuned a little flat, by mid-week I'm usually spot on. If I attend the local football teams games I can get a little sharp especially when the defence is on the field. When I'm in awe its usually in G. When answering a question its usually in A. :wink:

If you're talking DeForrest Kelley, no.
If you're talking about Emily Deschanel, I can think of several things she can do for me... :P

Not sure what you mean, but if it involves not playing anymore, I refuse. I don't mind being a limited player. I do just fine as a rhythm guitarist. Also, the break was a football accident. If I can find a picture of how my hand looked and my x-rays, I'll post them.
