I am right handed and a new comer to chording and bluegrass. My left hand 4th finger was damaged several years back and cannot bend at the 2nd and 3rd knuckles from the finger tip. It is a permanent condition which does not effect playing most of the classical music I have worked with to this point (Bach etc). It is very painful and a physical impossibility to use that 4th finger for a full four fingered chop chords. Because I cannot bend the finger enough to avoid it lying on adjacent strings while trying to chord it further eliminates the utility of 4 fingered chop chords. I have searched and googled for charts of three fingered chop chords (index, middle, and ring finger chords) to be USED ON THE BOTTOM )G, D, A) three strings. I would like to develop a chord chart for this but am VERY limited in theory and chord knowledge background. Can some one point me to 3 finger charts or make recommendations. As I say - I can play a Back partita - but when it comes to learning chop chords I have to over come this issue. Your kindness in any help is most appreciated. Regards, Tim
