                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Django Reinhardt is one of the greatest guitar players of all time. He burned his hand badly when he was 18 or 19 years old. His hand was deformed and he barely had use of his ring or pinky fingers. He had to learn guitar all over again. He mostly played using his index and middle fingers only, but could use the other fingers for a little fretting. He was known for his amazing speed on the fretboard. <br><br>Here is a photo of Django. If you look carefully you can see the scar tissue on his fretting hand.<br><br><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v403/Winman/DjangoReinhardt.jpg"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v403/Winman/DjangoReinhardt.jpg"></a>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I know a guy who's just got a nub below his left elbow. Born that way. He plays a lefty guitar. Strums by cutting a slice off an apple, taping it to his nub with electrical tape, and poking a light gauge pick into the apple. He plays right well that way. Not just strumming, either, he can do some pretty good flatpicking. <br><br>Saw a video online somewhere of an armless guy playing guitar with his toes.]]></content:encoded>
