I can't imagine how frustrating that must be. I would recommend trying out a Lap Steel. With Lap steel you would just need to hold the bar. I don't know if that would work for you or not, but it might be worth a shot to try out. You could purchase a really cheap lap steels to see if it would work or not. They run around $100. Hope that helps and good luck. Sorry to hear that. I can’t imagine how frustrating that must be. I would recommend trying out a Lap Steel. With Lap steel you would just need to hold the bar.

I can't extend my fingers.prior to the stroke I was very much a novice acoustic player.learning 2 years prior to this event.I miss the ability to play the guitar to the point. I still desire to play,and realize I may have to learn to play a different way.I know I may never get the use of my hand and fingers back to play the traditional way. So i am willing to change the way I would play. I just don't know where to start.Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I played slide in standard tuning for 10 years before I even tried open e. There are some really cool licks in standard tuning. More Warren Haynes style slide. @Joao Yeah Open Tunings are definitely better for solo playing, but in a band standard tuning can be pretty awesome.
