Topic: Calling all leftys

Despite owning a guitar for ages now it has mostly just been sat in a box under my bed (my brother left it when he moved out and I've been lugging it around with me for years since). So now I decide I`ll have a bash with it.


After a few weeks of messing about I can play all the basic chords GACDE and a few others (F and B are yet to come) and songs are at least starting to sound like they should do.


My guitar is stringed for right handed use though. I dont think I`m doing badly with this but being a lefty would I find it any easier to play and get better by swapping over to a left handed setup?


Any opinions from l/h players that started out on a r/h guitar would be great.


Thanks.

Sutmae

Re: Calling all leftys

I started off on a right acoustic,switched it over to lefty,the right way to play,eh <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_razz.gif" border=0 alt="Razz">


I find that you lose allot of the quality of sound switching over and went out and bought a left electric.


Mind you Hendrix played a right handed upside down,if i was dyslexic that would work great <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_razz.gif" border=0 alt="Razz">
