If you put these two skills together you get someone with INCREDIBLE potential for mastering a musical instrument, such as guitar, because it takes agility and the ability to kick-butt on guitar. There is scientific evidence that left-handed people are better at sports because of their unique approach, as well as being fantastic problem solvers. You’ll see many reasons below to support that theory. That name stuck with me all these years and should be your motto as a guitarist. The shop owner built and worked on hot-rodded and custom guitars that were all meant for “lefties”. Right alongside of the studio was a custom guitar shop called “Left is Right Guitars”. I used to practice with a band in Hayward, California in a rehearsal studio. Tablature will work exactly the same, because it’s only referring to fret numbers and string names which are the same on left or right-handed guitars. Other than that, everything else should be similar.

It might make the Chord Diagrams more confusing at first, so consider learning your chords with Tablature (see below). If I’m a left-handed player, how will that change “these” lessons? So make certain you are playing a guitar that was designed for left-handed guitar players!! SO DO IT RIGHT – BUY A LEFT-HANDED GUITAR Warning: If you try and restring a right-handed guitar to become a left-handed guitar, you run the risk of problems with the nut (the strip of metal or plastic the strings go through at the head of the guitar just before the tuning keys), or the bridge (that part where the strings anchor to your guitar, near your picking hand), which can cause MAJOR playing and tuning/intonation problems. So, I highly recommend buying a left-handed guitar to learn and practice on. I have read about several left-handed guitar guitarists that tried to learn on a right-handed guitar (strung for right-handed players!), and regretted it later.

YIKES! That would certainly look cool, but then you would miss the opportunity to utilize all the incredible free lessons (like these) on the net. SO, if that’s you, and you are a lefty, continue reading….Ī very few number of left-handed players over the years have flipped a traditional guitar upside down with the high E string on top and the low E on the bottom and learned it that way. The other hand goes on the neck of the guitar. Whichever hand you throw a ball with - IS the hand that you should be PICKING with. Traditionally speaking: Whichever hand you write with. My-oh-my, you just have to do everything differently, don’t you? 🙂
