  • I started off playing right handed, but now I'm practicing playing left handed. Lefties FTW!

  • You lefties cant shred like us righties! whoo!

  • I'm left handed but I can barely form a chord on a left handed guitar. But I can fly right through music on a right handed guitar.

  • i am Righty.

    but i play Left Hand Guitar since i was a 13 year old boy.

  • I'm a righty, but I play guitar left-handed.

  • @icesbcrew2 Exactly!! Its much better, right!? I played righthy for TWO YEARS and nothing happened, but one week of playing lefty is so much more fun!

    The best guitar-player in the world played lefty, so why should we dismiss that as it doesnt affect your music, i am convinved it helps it, playing lefty, that is my personal experience and nobody can change that,

  • I'm a lefty. I used to play acoustic righty, now i got a left handed guitar and it is difficult to find left handed help videos...

  • is it wired if your right handed and you play with your left??? cuz im like that and a lot of ppl say its wired O_o

  • I'm a true ambidextrous person (not like all you wannabes out there >:D), though I prefer to play the guitar left handed.

  • I'm a lefty too and I think being left handed is easier in some ways. I find it easier to "look into a mirror" when learning with my teacher. The only problem is that he often says "left" instead of "right" and vica versa :)

  • i hate being ambidextrous.......

  • LEFTHANDED PEOPLE FTW !!!!!

  • thank you I can play ozzy

  • Comment removed

  • im left n ive been playin righty for 8 years, im good but turns out that my wrist cant keep up with the picking speed i want to use, so i decided to switch to lefty since my wrist is more comfortable to fast picking

  • LEFT HANDED PEOPLE RULE!!

  • Being lefty, i kind of find this video a little patronising.

  • im a righty, but i do almost everything left handed.

  • my understanding (unless im mistaken - likley, since im usually wrong haha) is that Pauil mcartney played a normal right handed guitar upsidedown, so he had to rotate chord patterns 180 degrees

  • is <- Left??? lol.

  • I started learning to play right handed but I am getting my first left handed soon. It would be more unique! If your a lefty, your already unique :)

  • @MintPrincess11 I am buying my first guitar (electrick) And I am standing in front of quite big of a problem. In a time I was playing guitar hero, right-handed guitar felt well. But when I imagie my self playing, I feel that my left hand is better choice for struming. What shuld I buy in the end as a "lefty" ?

  • @S0RREN

    Well, it just depends on what kind of music you'll be playing. If it's more strumming like me then I'd stick with a lefty guitar. If it's more for picking, I'd play right-handed cause then my left can handle the fret changes. For me personally, I'm going to learn lefty even though I started learning right a few years ago. It makes sense if right handers play right because they strum with their right just as lefties should strum with their left.

  • @MintPrincess11 I have decided for left, even thoughits little bit more expensive. And what you've just said, fits. I like the sound of strumming single strings rather than all at once. and as for those techiques like hammer on and such, well I am confident that my right hand handles it. So thanks for confirmation, left hand it is.

  • NIce guitar!! I love the deep red colour :)

  • Why should α right-handed learn how to play in a left guitar , or the opposite??????

    I am a lefty and i play only in left handed guitars .... Do i have to play in a right one ????

  • Comment removed

  • what's the advantage if you play left handedly if your left handed?

    i'm a lefty but i play it right handed

    pls reply..ty ^^

  • @saber7fatality No one can borrow your guitar !

  • @Mezzo915 reallyy??oh okay you have a point ^^

  • I'm righty and usually play righty but im learning how to play lefty

  • Lefties are never right

  • I'm a lefty, but I play guitar right-handed.

  • @cardsfan29utube me 2.

  • @cardsfan29utube then learn to play left handed...i think its the only way to be on you full capacity

  • @cardsfan29utube HEEYYY so am i.i wanted to ask.what should i do buy a lefty electric guitar cuz i'm left handed or a right handed electric guitar.cuz i want to know wats the best decision and i don't want to confuse myself.so i want to know does it really matter which one.and which is the best to do with.

  • @MrBigbossj14 Did anyone answered you yet? I am kind of interested in the same problem.

  • @S0RREN yup on another vid.they said its best to go with the lefty.cuz your dominant hand suppose to be you strumming hand and you right hand which is less dominant is your and to hold the strings . :-)

  • @MrBigbossj14 Thats how it feels for me. But I also cannot get rid of feeling that I cannot ever land my guitar to anyone, and also learning it will be significantly harder, becose everyone playing right side. After all, even though holding strings also requires certain dexterity, strumming will be harder, and therefor I shuld go for left handed guitar...

  • @MrBigbossj14 BTW. You seem awfully overinformated about hese things, do you thing I shuld get 3/4 size guitar for start? Not that my hands are small, but I have long thin fingers, so hard to tell whats best for my begining.

  • @S0RREN no i am not over informated about these things.and to me it doesn't matter electric guitar is an electric guitar once its not a toy or mexican not that i am racist but musicians where i live warned me not to buy those cuz they're no good or fake or somthin.trust me you'll know if its not good.when the price is to good to be true cuz the neck can break off and what not.check for a maple wood neck guitar or a gibson.

  • @MrBigbossj14 Good, the one I picked so far just so happend to have maple neck, and the body is alder (even thoug I was kinda hoping for lime wood, becose it's our national tree). Dont know if there is significant quality difference in body wood, but hopefuly alder will do fine.

  • @S0RREN oh ok cool "lime wood?" first time i heard that where are u from

  • @MrBigbossj14 Well, it ain't my fault that only country that has it's national tree on flag is canada :-D But yes, lime wood (or at least thats what google told me its called in english. Becose if it's not, I have no idea.) Anyway, I am from Bohemia, in middle of Europe. Maybe, if you are from America, or Asia, there are no Lime trees, or they might be very rare.

  • @S0RREN whoa all the way there "Bohemia" strange name and i am not from america or any part of it including canada.i am from st.Lucia in the Caribbean (no i do not know Rihanna) and yes we have lime trees i hope its the same thing cuz its in my back yard for when i use it to make juice. :-)......well my neighbor does.yh its not that rare here though.

  • @MrBigbossj14 Caribbean, that must be awesome! I never really tought about Rihana's living. Anyway I am aware that limes are also citrus fruits. I tried to translate lime back in google, and it turns out that it means about 6 different expressions. (one of them is whitewash witch is really odd) most of them are just different names for lime fruit. And one of those limes, is masive deciduous tree that also guitars are made from.

    Enough nerd talk: Today I am going to try some guitars, wish me luck

  • @S0RREN good luck dude how much is an electric guitar up over by your side?cuz its pretty expensive where i live so i have to order one for a cheaper price.Rihana actually is from barbados (hate that bitch).really 6 well people weren't as privileged back then. :-)

  • @MrBigbossj14 Yeah, I am going to order it too. But I had to go to the shop and try it before. If you want real wood, and not that half-plastic ultralight. it will send you back around 190$ + if you want really decent amp. with lots of effects another 150$

  • @S0RREN oh ok cool

  • @cardsfan29utube

    lol

    i'm right-handed, but i play a lefty xD

  • @cardsfan29utube Me too. It just seems easier to me.

  • @cardsfan29utube im a leftie qand play leftie :D

  • @cardsfan29utube im right handed but i play with a left-handed guitar! im not playing

  • @cardsfan29utube Well you're just letting the government win.

  • leftys rule !

  • im a lefty but i play guitar with my right hAnd....:(

  • @panzarw same with me just in the opposite way i'm right handed but i can play a guitar left handed and it just feels more comfortable than holding it right handed

  • @chahid same with me just in the opposite way i'm right handed but i can play a guitar left handedand it just feels more comfortable than holding it right handed

  • so...rightys are considered "natural" 

  • I'm a lefty but i play on a usual right hand guitar.

  • @panzarw Same xD

  • LEFTIES FTW!

  • leftys

  • i hate being a lefty i cannot even buy some guitars i really want! =(

  • @nimmason You always have the option to play the opposite way. But If you started playing left handed, ther is no turning back =(

  • @NosAway That´s not true =) I am righty and have been playing righty for almost 19 years. Most of the years as a John Lennon Look-a-like. Now I got a job as a McCartney clone, and I have tought myself to play the bass for the beatles tunes ....and other songs, all lefty =) It is not hard to do. once you get started. Try and search for a man named Ardy Sarraf of the fab four. He plays Paul too, and is also Righty and have been playing righty until he got the job as a McCartney clone.

  • @baeh123456 Maybe it depends on the person, like it was very hard/awkard for me to play right handed.

  • @NosAway yep i think so because i writh and eat wich my left hand its my strongest hand but i prefer to play chords wich my right hand.

  • left handed power!

  • right hand guitarists always look cooool

  • 0:00 skip ads

  • I wanna ask something , does your heart ache while you play guitar ? mine aches a little later after I started to play because guitar presses my left part of chest especially to where my heart is. Because of this situation , I began thinking give up to play guitar :(( please someone help me..

  • @aleskmace see a doctor, your heart is protected by the rib cage, so you shouldnt feel pain from the guitar

  • @MuseandIncubus thx for answer, i didnt see a doctor, but my ache gone away although I continued to play the guitar , so it was just a normal chest ache caused by playing guitar, not a heart ache :)

  • i wonder wats its like to be right handed

  • guitars are meant to be player left handed WTF !!!

  • I hate that ads shit.

  • This is awesome can't wait until I get my left hand guitar 

  • johnny fuckin christ dude you have a lot of videos!!!!

  • is it possible for a lefty to play a righty guitar

  • @mrmariosonicbros125 It's possible but it wont feel as natural and you will really need to teach yourself. its may also come easy to you.

  • @mrmariosonicbros125 lol im a right hand but im trying to do left but its hard cos i gotta doit upside down XD

  • @MuseandIncubus im right handed and i have a right handed guitar but i dont understand, i play way better a left handed guitar lol, so i turn my guitar upside down too, its stupid but atleast i can play better, maybe one day i will buy a new one but for now i will play upside down xD

  • @lolimix2006  Me too.....I'm right handed, but play better lefty !

  • @mrmariosonicbros125 I'm left-handed, but I play a "righty guitar". Played in school, in a band, at home. All are right guitars. Strumming is easy and chording. The hard part I see is the left and right coordination in playing melodies like, for example, the intro of "God Knows" (which has open e string played after each note), shreds, scaling, etc. That's why I always take role of a rhythm gtr. But other than that, it's nice.

    I'm saving money to buy a left guitar though.

  • @Antipara imma a righty and i play lefty in school as well but no lefty electrics i have to buy my own n there rare.

  • Comment removed

  • i hav a righty guitar lol

  • Ewww it's IMPOSSIBLE to play a left hander. Plus, it just looks shitty

  • it is statistically proven that lefties are 27% more creative than others

  • @granada1991 its becuz us lefties hav a active RIGHT side of the brain while right handed people hav a active LEFT side of the brain...supposably lol

  • agree with earthworm soup-dont like to share lol. but the drag? when you go out and bump into an inprompt tue jam, then you get sorta left out howl!

  • @MrBamboochicken thats why you always need to have an other lefty guitarist among your friends.D:D

    or just simply take the stuff everywhere. =D

  • i'm a lefty: writing with my left hand, playing guitar with my left hand. I just play football with my right foot.

  • @rockandpop932 haha i do all them the same plus left handed wnker haha but i punch with my right hand....

  • @HisInfernalMajesty70 lefty power! ;)

  • @rockandpop932 lmfao! :D

  • am both

  • the only guitars that left handed people can play are strats, tele, SG, Epiphone stuff, Kurt cobain jagstang, paul grey bass hofner violin bass, les paul, and all the right handed can have almost all guitars... but Ive always wanted to be left handed, i love kurt cobain...<3

  • @BaktolKillWithGuitar That's not true you can find a lot of shit left handed if you look for it. And if you're a lefty you're looking much deeper.

  • Respond to this video...

    Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Paul McCartney

  • im a right handed guitarist

    WE GET ALL THE BEST GUITARS :D

    sorry, just thought id throw tht in there ;)

    but im ambidextrous so I want to try this out.

    it must be easy with a lefty squier or something, sitting and practicing on a righty restrung is so uncomfortable.

  • i'm kinda weird because i'm right handed but i find it easier to play both the guitar and bass with my left hand. i only have a left handed bass,but i haven't played a left handed guitar yet. but i think i would do it with my left hand too

  • i think it's easier to find a left-handed guitar and violin, therefore if i want to learn a string instrument, it's easy to learn playing guitar, haha

  • @jinilover

    there's like headrest guitar for right handed but only a few for lefties.

    just like everything else...

  • @q1111w ic, sorry, i made a typo, i thought it's easier to find a left-handed guitar than a left-handed violin

  • I'm left handed but I play guitar right handed :D

  • @pivotpoop you're gonna regret it later

  • im lefty lefty is awesome

  • Lefty's Rule Jimi Hendrix Rules and i'm a lefty too

  • I cannot find any good lesson vids for beginners here, so if anyone knows a good person to check out, plz pm me a link to their channel. I'd really apreciate it. I'm a drummer and I honestly wanna learn something other than the drums, so thanks in advance.

  • @u2vertigo10 Search for Siggi Mertens. The man is a master of all forms guitar. And he has hundreds of lessons online.

  • Can anyone tell me why i play left handed guitar better than right handed when i am right handed?

  • @BR0WNY0DA you probably better on maneuvering on the neck with your right hand than your left. I'm mixed dominance (certain things I do right handed like writing, drawing, and drumming and left-handed like throwing a ball. And I'm left footed) and I play right handed, i can strum equally with both hands, but I move on the fretboard superfast with my left.

  • @cumulo25 so i should stick to playing left handed?

  • @BR0WNY0DA if thats how you usually do it, then yes.

  • I'm weird im right handed but i hold a guitar left handed.... i think im ambidextrus

  • @zaniemz dude, i'm the same. this whole time i thought 'ey, that guy sold me a left-handed guitar' when really i'm the lefty one on the guitar and yet i'm right-handed.

  • @zaniemz I'm lefty but hold it righty. Yay!

  • hey does anyone have any ideas for a left handed electric guitar? ps. im not starting out i can already play

  • @840clerys check out rondomusic they're a company that makes knock off guitars of the big companies but they're legit and i've heard some good reviews about them. I'm a lefty and ima get something from them next payday lol.

  • I'm the same way, man!!! check out this video called "Black Malmsteen Bicth".

  • why are these specific to left handed??its stupid its no difference watching a video thats has a lefty or righty guitarist.....just saying...

    from a lefty

  • i wish i was lefty too

  • If I was lefty, I would put my amp on the onther side of the room =D

  • proud lefty here!!

  • great lesson.

    i used to play right handed for a year but a week ago i changed to left handed cause i noticed i was more comfortable to playing lefty, and i play as good as right-H aftre 3 w. strange

  • @Falipala2 Hi i´ve always played with a right guitar been lefty and i haven´t changed the strings because i´m afraid I have to start all over again... for how long did you played right handed been lefty?

  • I started righty, restrung to lefty, then brought a righty acoustic. It easier to strum on left, but i find fretting to be just the same on the right

  • is that a galveston?

  • Restrung guitars played opposite handed usually need adjustments made to the bridge and all that. Make sure you know how to do this or have it done professionally, if that's your plan. There are plenty of left-handed guitars out now though. Back in Jimi Hendrix's day, left-handedness wasn't quite as well provided for.

  • im a lefty and i cannot use my pinky...

    is that normall or just coz i dont use it much?

  • im lefthanded and i barely use my pinky you dont need to use it alot

  • Ok im a lefty playin right hand for bout a month and 1/2 now, my fret hands not too bad of course but i cant alternate pick to save my life. Worried I made a bad decision. I strum WAY better with left hand. Anybody have this problem starting out?

  • You should try to get someone to re-string your guitar. I bought my first guitar left handed cause I'm left handed and it felt more comfortable to me. So since you're left handed, I think you should either re-string it or buy a left-handed guitar. Trust me on this, I know a friend of mine that's lefty and he bought a right handed guitar and has the same problem

  • dang it!! i do everything with my left hand but i cant even play guitar with my left hand!

  • confused . glad i m right handed

  • lefties rock better lol

  • hehe, Jimmy Hendrix and Tony Iommi are lefties ftw! Yea iam proud to be a leftie^^

  • jimmi hendrix wasnt left handed he palyed a left handed restrung guitar

  • @vinicioayala ok you spelled Jimi wrong,and you said the dumbest thing ever :)),jimi used a restrung right-handed guitar!

  • @B1rthM4rk who cares how i spelled his name wrong and yea thats what i meant

  • dude jimi (was) left handed, he took a right handed guitar restrung the strings just look at all hes videos and you can see hes a leftie...

  • No he wasnt he was right handed

  • yay im a lefty too.!

  • He's using a strat copy.

  • I'm left handed but I play guitar right handed. My best friend is right handed but plays guitar left handed.

  • thats nice i want to like your bf right handed but plays left handed

  • LEFTYS RULE!! they're also smarter than the rightys

  • No they dont

  • The nice thing about being a lefty guitarist is that nobody wants to play my guitars. I don't like to share..lol

  • @earthwormsoup But then you miss out on 1000 of other righty guitars there are

  • What do you mean "miss out?" I'm not concerned when it comes to righty guitars.

  • @earthwormsoup XD im lefty too WE ROCKas hendri iommy and cobain

  • tell me that..haha,cause i live in brazil and there are no left handed guitars,and yeah,if i find one is tooo much expensive or it sucks,certainly,i have an ibanez RG with floyd and 5 pickups....its hard being left handed,but,remember,hendrix never had a left handed guitar,and he was and is the best....

  • just restring it

  • it sucks being a left handed guitarist i can never find guitars and if i can find one they are either tooo much money or they suck so much they arent worth buying its so frustraiting

  • when playing notes where do you put your finger? my friend said right before the metal bit which seperates frets but another one said in the middle

  • it's really just about pressure, but ideally you'd put it closer to metal bit

  • its right before.

  • I am left handed but my guitars are all right handed because they were given to me on my birthday so I have to play them up side down ;(

  • you can flip the strings and move the strap to make a lefty.

    its not that hard, it's just annoying.

    unfortunately you might have to change your bridge piece.

  • I get dizzy when I look at left handed guitars.

  • JonMcAlpin - Really?

  • Yeah, they're just really wierd looking to me.

  • i'm lefthanded and i still find it weird!

  • Same

  • Hi, I have a question. I heard that left-handed guitars cost a little more than right-handed ones. About how much did you pay for yours?

  • Comment removed

  • 615 Euros.

    Hagstrom Swede Lefthand.

    Not more expensive than the Righthanded.

  • i have a hagstrom super swede :D

    left handed, of course. great, great guitar. i love it.

  • Congrats!

    Hagstrom is best in it´s price-class.

  • I want one sooo bad I have a friend who has a super swede great sound. He also has a vintage fretless bass and a vintage swede
