left handed guitarists[views:1745][posts:8]_________________________________ [Mar 9,2004 2:45am - Kalopsia ""] ok, so i'm checking out the new terminally your aborted ghost pictures live at the WUNH studio from tonight, and i noticed that not only is the guitarist using a right handed jackson turned upside down, but the strings are strung as if a right handed person was using it!!!!!!!!! how the fuck can u play like that? it's like learning everything in reverse. the 2 things that are bugging me the most is how can u play a power chord, and how can u show the bassist a new riff u wrote? he'd have to watch u upside down. i'm not trying to sound like an ass or anything, players like u just confuse the living shit out of me. |

| _________________________________________ [Mar 9,2004 3:01am - TheGreatSpaldino ""] it was tough learning at first... but since im so awesome i picked it up quickly. its not really that much of a big deal anymore. i forget that he plays upside down sometimes... |

| _________________________________ [Mar 9,2004 6:21am - Sinistas ""] My buddy Chris has been playing that way since...shit, like 95 or so. He's nasty. I guess when he took lessons from Joe Stump back in the day he used to rag on him for it. |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 9,2004 10:38am - RustedAngel ""] it's all how you learn... it looks hard to us who are used to playing the 'right' way that we're use too. if you start out learning something a certain way obviously it becomes easier. try playing that way in standard rather than drop, it would be a challenge playing regular chords backwards even if you start to learn them that way. |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 9,2004 10:41am - RustedAngel ""] carina, unless you strum everything upwards, I don't suggest just flipping a right handed guitar backwards withought rotating the strings. and for the stuff you'll, play it might not be a good idea. |
