It'll be a minute cuz I got shyt to focus on and get done, places to reach, etc but I'm feeling more and more that I wanna pick up guitar as a hobby :ehh:

I'm left handed though (kinda adds to try the appeal, being unorthodox :ohhh:

) it's best to be well researched on it before I make any impulsive purchase. Any brand recommendations, learning tools, etc?

Jimmy Hendrix was left handed...

And he played upside down back then...

But there are left handed guitars...

What styles are you trying to play ??

Actually he rearranged the strings to accommodate being left handed. The dedication :wow:

That's the way I'd always hold it when I used to mess around on my grandfather's guitars. I wish I would have devoted more time to playing guitar, but I took after my uncle and played the drums.

I tried playing it the normal way and that shyt felt mad awkward. Even today if I air play along with my favorite riffs it's left handed :russ:

Definitely Jazz. Outside of that idk, hell. I love the way certain chord progressions sound so I'll discover what else thru them.


That's what I do :myman:

I don't understand the need for a left handed guitar.

Both hands need to maintain accuracy and a rhythm for you to create sound. In order for that to happen, both hands need to be trained.

It's like getting a piano for left handed people or violin players. Both hands need dexterity to play.

I'd like to hear someone's take on the necessity of it though.

Don't question me :hhh:













To answer your question though :ehh: it just feels natural/impulsive. One time as a teen I grabbed my friend's guitar and started playing around with it, rambling about whatever shyt and he finally told me "You're holding it upside down :skip:"



My response?-- "I don't care :yeshrug:". I never once wanted to hold it "right". If there's no such thing as left handed then there shouldn't be a problem with learning that way :manny:

Comfort, since your dominate is stronger hand and etc. I have heard of left handed players just playing it like a right handed player.
