Shredding Without Sight: How I Navigate the Fretboard Blind

Just like learning to play guitar, learning how to play it without seeing it is a process filled with trial and error. In this video, I walk you through the different strategies I've used over the years as my vision loss has progressed, and show you what I do now to play the way I wanna. In this video, I'll cover: -A little about me and blindness -Early strategies -Bump Dots -Velcro -Other textures -Final thoughts Whether you're blind/low-vision/visually impaired and are trying to find a way to keep playing or you're an experienced musician who just can't rely on sight at dark gigs anymore, I'm sure you'll learn something. I'm sure I'm not alone, and I don't have all the answers. I'd love to hear what other blind/low-vision folks have come up with, and I'm also happy to answer questions.
