We are now discovering that the brain is highly neuroplastic and continues to grow and develop based upon experience.

He has a more recent book out as well. I've also read My stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor and This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession by Daniel J. Levitin. Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything by Joshua Foer is also a fascinating read about the evolution of language and memory (the author himself eventually became the 2006 U.S.A. Memory Champion).  \r\n  \r\nThe reason I propose any or all of these and more, is that it will leave you encouraged of what is possible with retraining your brain compared to the old school attitudes surrounding brain injury and more specifically to you and your desire to return to guitar playing.

What your BF is going through is I think understandable, given the circumstances; and because it's sort of similar to my experience this last week, I can tell you this sort of thing is incredibly uncomfortable, so much that it has a bit of an (adverse) psychological impact in addition to the basic technical screwiness of it.\r\n\r\nIt probably just takes a little while to get used to and then \"rewire\" for.
