playing guitar with a finger missing--ring finger

Hi! I'm missing my ring finger and i wanted to know if there are alternatives to play some cords i can't! Thanks a lot for the anwsers in advance.

try a left handed guitar

Find some music by Django Reinhardt. Because of accident in his youth, he could not use is ring a pinky finger for very much. He went on to become one of the best gypsy jazz guitars of all time using just his first two fingers. His music is very difficult to play, even for someone with fingers all their fingers, but I think he would be a great inspiration for you.

Sorry of all the gramatical errors, I will post it again:

Hmm... I use my thumb quite alot, try that? :)

Man I don't know what I would do if I was missing a finger, thats just horrifying to me. You might try getting prosthetic fingers too, who knows? Or you could play tap guitar with your right hand.

my lil bro plays guitar too, and last year he got into a car accident and screwed up his ring finger. he apparently found a tuning that works for him and he can still play full chords without his finger..

i think i also heard my sis say trace adkins(country guy) lost a finger somehow and he still plays.

Jerry Garcia lost a finger on his right hand.. but, then agian, thats not as bad as a left digit loss.

What you might consider palying as well is Lap Steel guitars. You don't need fingers at all for that. Except for when you mute the strings but that doesn't really count because there is no finger movment involved in it at all.

or you might want to consider checking out this site.

They even make ones that have wires inside and that actually move like real fingers too.

I just found these videos. The guy has no arms, but still plays better than me.

It is amazing to see what can people do if they really want to. Inspiring

@Zete:
He's amazing. That counts for me, too-what you said: He play's better with his feet than I do with my hands.
