Isn't hard to learn chords if you can only play this way? I suppose the fingering is all different. :???:

 

[firdaus]

the fingering is all definitely different ,there is this interview done quite sometime ago regarding man kidal he said that if a normal guy practice 4 hours a day he had to practice 8 hours a day and the additional 4 hours is to correct his fingering and posture haha.......im also left handed but do not use a left handed guitar

Ohh..... the good ol Wings! I miss those days..... Man Kidal from the band Lefthanded oso play the same way.

D guitar is not upside down, d strings r set up upside down. Hendrix's strings r set up right way up. Its a preference thing..

 

[Innuendo]

probably the most famous guitarist who played this way is Albert King.

and Elizabeth Cotten, of course! well not that popular, but one of the greats nonetheless. in my opinion.

there is nothing wrong with how they played. you can try too. may i know why you would want to play upside-down stringed?

These guys are really something.

Have natural talent and can play so well despite having to do it differently from most other people.

Respect!
