Hello musicians,
I am now re-learning to play guitar and I was wondering if there are any 
techniques/tips on how play it without sight? I have about 10 years of 
experience, although I haven't been playing much all that time, but now 
I'm trying to relearn how to play it without sight.
For example, my biggest problem is to position my hand correctly at a 
certain fret, especially when that fret is far from either ends. I was 
thinking of putting some sticky bump dots on the back of guitar  neck, 
so that I'd be able to feel them with my thumb. Has anyone tried 
anything like that, and does it work? Or are there any other tricks?
Another question is about new guitars - I am looking to buy a new guitar 
for myself and I am wondering if there is anything I should know before 
buying it? I am not looking for general advice - I have a few guitar 
experts among my friends, who know a lot about guitars, I am rather 
interested if there is anything a blind guitarist should know before 
buying a guitar. Like for example maybe some models are easier to play 
for blind people than others.

Thanks
Tony
