[musictlk] can a blind person play guitar

[Kelsey Nicolay]

Hello,
I've been considering learning guitar for quite a while.  I have 
a good ear and have solid skills on the piano, so that shouldn't 
be an issue.  However, I tried taking a guitar class at college 
and the one thing I really struggled with was locating the frets 
on each string.  For example, playing a chromatic scale on guitar 
was really hard for me since I found it difficult to move from 
string to string and locate the frets.  This is why I'm 
hesitating a bit on signing up for lessons.  Is it possible for a 
blind person to learn to play guitar? If so, any tips on how to 
make locating the frets easier? I really don't want to put 
Braille labels on my guitar if I don't have to.
Thank you,
Kelsey Nicolay
