Three fingers song challenge!

Some time ago I had a small injury at my finger and i was not able to bend it. But I did not give up and tried to record a guitar song using just three fingers!

recorded using Sonar Platinum, Focusrite IsaOne, Neumann TLM102 + a pair of Samson C02 for the acoustic, Jamstix and NI Studio Drums 50s for the drum parts.
Mixed in SonicCore environment

    Considering the limitation of the damaged digit sounds OK here. perhaps a couple of timing issues but nothing serious. Having snapped the top tendon of my the little claw of my left paw I understand things not bending well.

    Hope the finger heals soon for you and thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for listening and for the support!
    the finger is slowly restoring but still not 100% and it gives me some pain when playing "normally"...
    hope that full healing will be fast! :)

    Well I didn't hear any timing issues. I thought it was really good, both the song and the playing. That solo at the end was really nice.

    As one who suffers from the stiff little fingers syndrome, I can appreciate your dilemma.  I just wish that I played as well with all fingers as you do with three.  This was really good song and was performed very well.
     
    Nice one.

    Very nicely done!
    I've seen many 3, even 2 fingered guitarists.
    It's just usually they don't use the little finger.
    Don't rush the recovery, let that index heal properly.
    I would exercise it, but not to the point of any real "pain".

    Well that was very nicely done. Just take care of those digits. They are far to valuable to go bustin' up.

    thanks for the kind words and for appreciating the song!
    the finger is healing, right now most of the pain has gone and i can almost play normally... it's just that i have to recover some technique and skill! :D

    Nice!  Three fingers or not, it's an enjoyable tune with maybe just a hint of prog thrown in.   I liked it.
