Thread Name: Guitar Playing for Left-Handers
Subject: RE: Guitar Playing for Left-Handers
The reason we lefties curl our hand inward when we write is to keep from smearing what we have just written with the heel of our hands. This is especially so with a fountain pen.
I doubt that I have a right-handed brain when everything else I do is left. Left handed, left footed.
Trying to pick right handed is awkward--it's clumsy and doesn't feel right.
My old guitar is tuned to an open E and I bar chord it. It sounds like crap the further up the fretboard I go. I gave it up and went back to the keyboard.
