...people right handed

I just found out why my picking skills are so low...
I'm left handed

omg I've been playing for almost 2 years now and I always kept thinking it will get better by practising but no, it doesn't get better and today - clever as I am - I finally find out why.

I am *swears in dutch* lefthanded

damn.
damn.

I'll have to learn how to play all over the other way around.
Or suck at playing the guitar forever

If they had made more guitars for left handed people - or more left handed people haha - I wouldn't have this problem
lefties are always discriminated

I feel depressed

lol.

Really? Left-handed? Je sais pas, mais si tu dis qu"il n'y a pas assez de guitares pour gauchers, pourquoi tu mets pas tes cordes à l'envers (EADGBe)? Penses-tu que ça marcherait? Mmmm... Mais ton histoire de gaucher, il me semble que si tu"vires de bord" ça va pas t'aider à mieux jouer vu que ta main droite est pas aussi flexible que l'autre, donc oublie les accords barrés... Mais quand tu joues en droitière, c'est vraiment si horrible que ça?

lol j'aime exagérer un peu
j'ai des problèmes avec 'picking'
donc j'ai du mal a jouer des solos et tout

Quand même, est-ce que tu vas vraiment réapprendre tout à l'envers?

How do you not know you're a lefty?

BassRookie wrote on Jul 1st, 2009 12:06pm

Hahaha!!!
Maar goed dat je er achter gekomen bent, anders was je op den duur misschien gestopt uit frustratie dat 't niet lukte en dat zou helemaal zonde geweest zijn!

Dark Valer wrote on Jul 8th, 2009 8:22pm

Well good luck then.

Im fortunate when it comes to guitar. Im both right handed and left handed. But someone you should look in to is Joe Perry. He is left handed but plays right handed. I think thats very good. It shows he's got talent. You should look into him and see what techniques he uses.
