Hello

Hello all,
About me. The more mature student, I started teaching myself about 2 months ago, via internet, books etc and i am getting there very very slowly, but am getting there.
My set up is a pacifica 112 with yamaha practice amp.
My biggest problem is, I am left handed in this right handed world, so not too much information about and what is, is generally for right handed people. Oh well, never mind.
Any help/tips/advice is greatly received from any other lefties out there.

Thought: All people are born right handed, the clever ones learn to use their left.
My reasoning anyway.
Bye 4 now.
Steve

Hey, welcome.

Another lefty here.

Pretty much the only difference you'll have to deal with (aside from the instruments themselves, of which there are a lot more than when I started) is chord diagrams and tab.

I don't use tab, but the chord 'shapes' and diagrams you see in books and whatnot, you just think of looking in the mirror at another, right-handed guitarist - which happens anyhow, the first time you jam with someone who's right-handed. When I started thinking of it that way, it made it way easier.

The only other consession I make when posting is to refer to my left hand as the 'strumming hand' and the right as the 'fingering hand' instead of simply right hand, left hand, because that would be confusing to like 95% of the people reading the stuff.

Other than that, it's not that hard related to all these other 'backward' folk!

It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
