      I've always played right handed. A lot of lefties p!at right handed. I can't imagine taking/ giving lessons the other way. I mean, our hands are still wired to the same sides of our brain, right? A lefty paying right handed makes for a strong lead player. Right handed guitars always seemed natural to me.

    I actually started playing guitar on a cheap fender strat right-handed model , and for the first few months , i wasn't making that much progress . Then one day i thought " hmm , i have more strengh and dexterity in my right hand cause i'm right handed , would it be better if i try to play like hendrix and cobain , left handed ? " . The difference was cristal clear and since then , proud to be a Lefty . But yeah , less choice in guitars , more expensive , kinda sucks sometimes , but all that matters in the end is the pleasure to play , you can't definitly buy that

    I didn't know Kurt was righty, primarily. When I was a kid, I remember holding my first toy guitar lefty, even though I was right handed. My parents would tell me to hold it the other way, which is weird now, since 1/2 my family (father and 2 sisters) are lefties. In grade school music class, when we got to ukuleles, I held mine lefty again and the teacher "corrected" me again. It just didn't feel right. I'm still right handed with everything and I don't play guitar, but whenever I hold one, lefty feels WAAAYYYYY more natural. I really wanna learn lefty to see how I'd play. Or maybe I can learn right & left so I can get one of those heart guitars like in David Lee Roth's video, "Just Like Paradise"

    I’m left handed but pay guitar right handed. My first instrument was a right handed bass that my best friend gave to me. That may of forced me to play that way, but idk it always just felt more comfortable using my dominant hand to navigate the fretboard and my weaker hand for picking.

  • @DoubleBxss

    As a left handed guitarist, it was difficult learning if I was going to be left or right handed. I spent probably a week or two going from my dad's left handed schecter to my aunt's right handed solid body Gibson. I eventually got my current guitar which is an Ibanez GRX70QA blue left handed. It's hard to pick up new things as a lefty in general so maybe that's why allot of left handed people were so innovate lmao
    Note: It can also be slightly to way more expensive just because it's left handed. Sucks but hey at least it's rare

    I was born righty but play guitar lefty, and I was surprised that I'm not alone. Learning lefty guitarists like me who were actually born righty made me feel amazed. In my case, it was out of curiousity that I learned to play lefty, starting from playing backward to lefty normal stringed. Of course, I expect criticisms from people around me, but I just shrugged off and continued playing my guitar the lefty way, not the "wrong" one. And true enough, I've visited sites related to lefty guitars/guitarists. Our tribe increases day by day, even if we're only 20% of the total world population. No backing down, fellow lefty players. Soon, we.might reach at least 50%, who knows. Rock on, lefties!

    Great video Marty! Has always seemed a bit strange to me that the dominant hand isn't used for the fret board. Wouldn't it make more sense that right handed people would use their dominant hand to fret the strings (which is harder) and the non-dominant(word?) hand to strum? We don't throw a ball with our non-dominant hand. Anybody know why?

    Kurt Cobain was actually right handed but he found it was easier to play chords with his dominant hand and therefore he strummed with his left hand and play chords with his right.

    Thanks for the lefty recognition Marty. If you made a list of the greatest guitarists of all time the number one spot would stay the same. In general left handed people are more creative, artistic. But often lack the focus it takes to master an intricate instrument like the guitar. But I don’t let that stop me from trying, plus we all have a great mentor in Marty.....even if he is righty.😳

    @mikelord9860 2 года назад

    There was a Hendrix video with him playing a lefthanded 12-string correctly, NOT inverted like on his Strat. So, he really could play both ways.
    Cobain, eh, not so sure - his leads were mainly melody lines, right.
    Of all those 7, I personally think Albert was the best.

    More a list of some of the most popular guitar players who played left handed, many of which were amazing such as Hendrix. For a top left-handed guitarist list, Mark Knopfler should’ve made it, but most don’t know he’s left handed since he’s like so many of us lefties that learned to play right-handed.

    Marty, my older brother (gave me my latest guitar btw...) is missing a few fingers due to a work accident, and gives us all 🎸 because he believes he cannot play.... I said go leftie on it. He was amazed when I suggested this... any suggestions you have for me will be well watched and noted. He would love to play and I'd love to see him join in, what is now the family weekend fun.

    When you consider McCartney, Iommi, Hendrix, Ringo Starr, Phil Collins, Elliot Easton, Dick Dale, Albert King, and Cobain are lefties, and Bowie, Dylan, Elvis Costello, Duane Allman, Billy Corgan, Robert Fripp, Joe Perry, Noel Gallagher, Damon Albarn, Stewart Copeland, Mark Knopfler, Steve Morse, and Gary Moore were lefties but played backwards, and then Classical Musicians Mozart, Beethoven, Rachmaninov, and Paganini...
    ...You start to realise that for 10 percent of the population has made a large percentage of the music we listen to.
