You should get a guitar set up for slide and learn how to play it, whatever style floats your boat. It would accommodate your disability as the fingering is minimal and it's all in the right hand.
I get guitars from the likes of Cash Converters now. Recently got a scruffy Epiphone Flying V (a '57 replica) as well as a Squier Standard Strat for learning how to do set ups on, etc. Nobody I know plays guitar so I watch YouTube guitar tutorials a lot but the thrill is gone :-(
Will probably never play in a band again - boo hoo!
I keep getting tempted by GAS but remind myself three electrics and a bass is plenty.
I've also recently gone off my guitar playing - BUT I find that if I stick with it for an hour or so, eventually I'll do something I think is ok.
The other thing is maybe try and record some self written pieces, or do a cover.
I've had hours of fun with a keyboard and VST synths. Not having words held me up for ages but then I figured fuck it and went for instrumentals. The other benefit is it got me to play bass a bit and get closer to writing words - though no hairy guitar solos. Remembering how to program drum machine stuff was/is a big struggle but the more you do the easier it gets.
(I do play with my mates but only 2 or 3 times a year - a suburban living room band.)
The only thing that gives (me) any lasting satisfaction is nailing a new song or solo etc.
I'm still saying nothing!

If you ask me, somebody has only read the first five words of the Discussion title.
Main GAS issues are about rock/blues gear - band rehearses when there is a gig in the offing, but these are literally years apart
Oh look - a seagull !!!!!

Haven't really played since which is a shame. I love good guitar music but have no motivation to pick up and play myself.
