Jerry Garcia was missing half of his middle finger on his right hand, lost after a wood-chopping accident.

One of my favorite bars has a lot of cool rock memorabilia including an ink print of Jerry's truncated hand. It's fun to compare the size with your own.

SPOILER ALERT: His hands were huge!!

BUT Garcia didn't start playing guitar until after the finger incident. However, in 1986, Jerry Garcia's diabetic coma forced him to relearn some of his most basic motor skills which resulted in him needing to completely relearn and reapproach how to play guitar.

I am a big fan of The Dead.
