Thanks! Django lost a couple fingers in a house fire, and yet, he played like that. Inspiring! Also a little depressing. :^) Practice is obviously important, but some people are just going to be better at any given thing that most will ever be. :^)
Tommy Iommi lost part of a finger in a sheet metal factory accident.
Django also was considered a criminal by the Nazis and had a rough time during WW2. Almost lost a leg in that fire, doctors wanted to amputate, he said no ad it healed enough for him to walk with a cane. Had to reteach himself guitar too. Quite a guy.
