  • Help. I'm a lefty and stuck with a righty guitar -several in fact. My left hand is really fast and my strumming horrible! How can I teach my brain to play nice? Any strumming advise?

  • That makes two of us, as I am a lefty playing righty as well. So my advice is, take it down to 1 strum per beat, and then add up from there.

  • Hey Mojo,

    Hows the action on that ovation?

    Thanks

    Jordan

  • what is the strum pattern?

  • Wow that was really cool, thanx for the lesson!!!

  • Janis Joplin sings it. R.I.P. Janis we love you :)

  • amazing voice :D

  • @SavedfromSlavery take off your stings and take the nut off the guitar flip it around and string the guitar for a lefty my friend has done this to several right handed guitars and they all sound and play great

  • Very nice!! Easy to follow! I am in ah car now, can't wait to get home n try this! Let ya know how it goes! Thanks!!!

  • very helpful. 

  • @ThreeChordGuitar I'm a lefty playing right handed too! The first time I ever picked up a guitar I held it L handed and got yelled at! Southpaw prejudice, lol. Strumming is easy, but now I have the Strat I've always wanted and discovered that my picking is rediculous. I try playing scales and little leads over and over and over, but don't seem to improve a whole lot. Any picking advice? Thanks

  • I guess I'm going to have to play this over and over really slow to get that strum pattern, because I can't even right it down as fast as you're saying it.

  • Does this strumming work the same for the janis version?
