Not sure why i watched this, I've been playing left handed guitar for 11 years. Lol But it was still entertaining, like the rest of your content. More people need to play guitar the left way.😆
i have been humming and hawing about picking up guitar, and since i feel alot more comfortable lefthanded style, a lot of lessons/ turtorials are more focused on right handed styles. its great to see a fellow lefty willing to impart their wisdom! thank you!
I'm right handed but sorta forced to learn left handed because of a partially amputated pinky on my left hand (so can't barre or play full power chords etc) I'm a total beginner but videos like this are super motivating for me. It sucks trying get my left hand to the point where i can strum and pick, but this channel brings me back up.
Thanks for this. I’m very left handed and just getting started. Very few lessons on RU-vid are left handed as you know. all printed tablature graphics show the neck horizontal as you would hold the instrument then why are both for right and left handers chord boxes shown vertically. No one plays an instrument neck vertical.
The pick ups alter an electrical freq. signal (I Think?) Right handed guitars are for the other people and the left handed guitars are for better people. Why do the pro's start from the bottom as #1 string
Also, quick question. I just got into music theory so this could just be my lack of experience, but at some point you said something about a major 5th. Does that exist? I thought 5ths were perfect?
I've been looking into getting seriously into guitar. Most actions I do are left-handed since I'm left hand dominant. I know it may be a biased question to a lefty guitarist, but would you recommend to just play and learn where I'm comfortable, whenever I'm able to start learning?
Amazing! Yea, I'd say go with whatever is more comfortable. One of my best friends is a lefty but plays right handed guitar, so there's nothing wrong with going that way too
@@anndynegative Makes sense. I've tried "air-practicing" too, and it ended up making my right arm hurt more than on the left side, so that helped reveal/explain a lot to me. Also, from a lot of what I've heard, your dominant hand is in control of rhythm, speed and a lot else... so I'd rather hold sentiment to that and go lefty, as I'm fairly dexterous on my right with other instruments I know, given that I was a brass player in high school & college.
@@anndynegative Actually I was able to find an old, broken kid-sized acoustic around my parents house. Did a small playing self-assessment; Holding the neck in my right hand and strumming off my left hand felt way more natural and helped my accuracy, so that cleared up a lot of possible confusion!
Anndy, I had to watch the video twice to get everything you said. Why? because I was too busy distracted by your glow in the dark hair. Like your teaching style. Could you please show better shots of your fingers placed for chords? I see mostly the back of your hand and not the placement of your fingers. You and Justin are pretty good with the camera angle.
One thing you taught incorrectly was the number of the strings. The 1st string is the high E which is closest to the floor. The 6th string is the low E which is closest to the ceiling. You said the opposite.
9:05 this is actually untrue if you look at a pack of strings the high E string (as in pitch) is the 1st string and the low e string (as in the thickest one) is the 6th string. I don't know why that is the case i'm just sharing knowledge. Personally it would make more sense if it was the way you say it is, because EADGBE but whatever. Idk who came up with this crap
