oh my gosh this is amazing! I'm 15 and I was born with a stroke so I'm only able to use my left hand for most things. I've always wanted to play the guitar but I never thought I could, but after seeing this it gave me hope and inspirtation to learn :)

@semilover23 It makes me happy to hear things like this! I believe that you have the power! We all have the power to overcome. It's in all of us. Make sure you let me know when your first video of you playing guitar is on the net!

@LauryWard I'm playing one-handed too due to a stroke...I find it difficult to maintain clear notes and consistent volume across the strings; do you have any tips?

[LauryWard]

@ADAP7IVE It's all about feel. You have to concentrate on touch, from the hardest hit to the lightest touch, with your fingers. Having your guitar set up with your strings as low to the frets as possible helps too. I use .009 gauge strings too. I hope this is helpful.

[ADAP7IVE]

@LauryWard Very helpful, thank you. Do you use any other special equipment, like active pickups or a compressor?

[LauryWard]

@ADAP7IVE nothing special, use anything that sounds good to you.

Way to shred :D

[ADAP7IVE]

@semilover23 I'm in the same situation. I've been playing for about a year, and I know it's possible after seeing videos like this. The most consistent problem I face is creating clear notes and consistent volume.

wicked!

[LauryWard]

Thank you. No I started out a righty.
