I actually had a bad cut on my middle finger when I was just a youngster learning to play. Right on the tip..... no way could I fret a string with that. It felt like a hot electric shock if I accidentally tried to fret.....BUT... it was during that time that I learned how to compensate and use other fingers to make the music happen.
