Trying to be Left Handed

[mus]

Hey,

I'm trying to be a left handed on the guitar.

Is it wise for me to just flip over the right hand guitar and play it

OR

shld i buy a left hand guitar?.

Thanks

haha!

HEY SHAKE HANDS HERE!!! I am left hand... the problem is i flip my right hand over... like jimi hendrix.... hmm.... use a left hand.... cause the knobs will disturb and the tremolo cannot be used... i used a modified left hand.... everything is for left hand just that the strings are flipped over... which means my thick E string is below and my thin E string is on top..

 

[redjackal]

wa that's hard to play man. like albert king. would that make soloing harder since the thin stings are all on top and u have to stretch your fingers all the way to the top?

 

[Nefianz]

well if u start of that way, it'll be easy in awhile.. u'll get used to it..

 

[Tharenii]

yeah

used to it ready ah... once used to it can ready ah... jimi hendrix is like that... just that he uses rite hand flipped to left ah...

 

[detroit_red]

Like man kidal la if you play like that .. Thinnest on top ...

 

[Tharenii]

really la i play that... used to it ah... quite shocking for some ah when see first time ah... used to it ah... all the hallowed be thy name solo all can play ready ah...

Im not asking you, I know you're left handed and you can play iron maiden solos with strings upside down, so that makes you so cool, and I also know that you around the age of 14-15? desperate for a gig to show that you play with your strings upside down, so thats even cooler, now i think that you're the coolest person in the world

 

[Tharenii]

tanks for the compliment... and y in the blue hell would u even ask me y would i wanna be left hand?

 

[GuitarNoob]

Im asking mus not you, I already mentioned that Im not asking you

 

[Jr-V]

LoL...This thread is getting interesting....haha

Anyway...If u are a righty who is trying to be lefty...i wouldnt be recommending this...Instead of taking time to get used to be a lefty, u can use the time to practice and make ur righty better. :lol:

Juz my opinion though..

 

[GuitarNoob]

yeap, that is why Im asking mus, and why would you want to be a lefty in singapore? cant even choose what guitar you want to buy, you know how much that sucks?

 

[detroit_red]

Playing lefty for a righty is better in the long run, you got better chances of shredding in a shorter time .... That's what i read ...

 

[Tharenii]

its true

[redjackal]

then if i'm a lefty and i'm plaing righty?
do i get to shred in a shorter time?

=X

i thought of the trouble before i started guitar.
like buying a lefty one. playing guitar during some acoustic session which u wont be able to. etc etc
so i started out with a righty/

but now, i'm going to pick up a lefty guitar and start from the top again.

oh ya...i'm going to look cool. age 19 to 21. looking for a gig. trying to show off i can play lefty and look the coolest.

people is born lefty, and you seems offended...
