- There is actually a practical reason for me doing this... I've been working on this beginner guitar course all year and I bought a left handed guitar so that I could test out the course on myself.
My guitar courses are available within the Guitareo membership :)

Also, my beginner course, GuitarQuest, is still available on it's own too

Great observation.
It’s funny because while he hasn’t mastered the other hand, he still has all that knowledge in his head, and that might be a little more frustrating than he thought it would be.
@Rizekrispy just turn the left handed guitar the other way
What better way to do it then left handed
@@KDJ1VLOGS you have to reverse the strings
a tight drummer that holds everything together playing with a shitty guitarist that can barely play two chords: that's the recipe for any great punk album
Fun fact: Joe Strummer of The Clash was left handed, but he had to play right because he couldn't afford his own guitar when he was learning. By the time he could afford his own he didn't want to re learn the instrument, so he just kept playing right handed. This meant he had no precision in his picking hand, hence the stage name "Strummer".
So basically yes.
Nirvana has joined the chat
Which is why it sucks when your band is decent, but your drummer can't even count
@@BassOutcast but Kurt was a pretty good guitarist.
@@adamshinoda I'm just joking around. I've been a fan of Nirvana for almost a decade now :)
Wow, this Rob Scallon guy could really be a decent guitarist some day
I'm gonna bet that a blockhead in this thread is not gonna get the joke
I didn't get the joke, i suck.
So original
@Perry Cuenot LOL (Laugh Out Loud (LOL))!!!
@Decesso he could totally use a delay pedal for that one
“I finally got power chords down. Am I a guitarist now?” 😂

I think you should required Jessica play left handed drums as well, haha! Great video, Rob!

@@AxxLAfriku great, now you're on rob's channel
@@itscorvid358 can someone fucking ban it already like seriously can we all just report it when it posts.
She would go from playing on the downbeat to the upbeat!
I think he is gone now cuz I don’t see a comment anywhere
I don't think I have ever seen a guitar course where the instructor REALLY remembers the capabilities of a beginner guitar player. I think what you did will really help you make a guitar course that is actually catered to the true beginner.
Justin Guitar did this last year. He made his beginner guitar course and took it himself left handed to make sure the course works
I don't really like how Justin Guitar teaches but you're right
@@BrunoNeureiter I tried to watch the series where he learn left-handed and I wouldn't wanna be taught that. I was internally dying watching that, imagining I would be learning that as one of my first lessons. I don't know much about him and how he teaches but what I saw, didn't make me wanna see more, tbh... nothing personal against him, just wouldn't fit me as a teacher I suppose.
What did bother you about his teaching methods if I may ask?
@@cladoxylopsida568 He said in that video he were doing exactly what he would teach to a complete beginner. And I didn't like that. That doesn't make him a bad teacher but it might make him a teacher that wouldn't suit my needs.
And no offense but recently I've felt that saying "they've been doing this for x decades" can be pretty meaningless, be it the expertise on the subject or other skills (like communication between the teacher and the student or a salesperson and a customer etc.).
So. They might be experts or they might not.
I have a fresh example, took my guitar to the local shop to get it set up because it was set up wrong (by the seller who btw claimed to be a professional as well). I wanted to point out some things (mainly the angle on the bridge) I thought were wrong and he brushed me off with "I've been doing this for 40 years". So I shut up and went with, "Okay, I'll let you to do the job."
And guess what. He set up the bridge wrong... 🤣 Also, no relief in the neck. So... in this case, having the 40 years experience wasn't much of a value.
@@molekyyli I've been following his course (as a total beginner) since march and the only time he shows left-handed is if you go and see his "Nitsuj" videos, where he shows us his own practice using the left hand and following his own course. Which has actually been really beneficial for me personally, to see someone else having the same struggles and knowing when something is "good enough" to move on. He also often mentions that he changed something, because when trying it out it made less sense than he had imagined.
All the actual teaching is done by him showing proper technique with his right hand ;-) So idk you've might have come across some remark in a random video or something. I am in no way trying to say that you are wrong or anything, if you don't like his way of teaching then you don't like it ;-)
He should play Rain backwards on a left handed guitar and call it Sunshine.
Pah ha ha ha! That's an idea!
Genius
Evaporation
'let the rain come as they run and hide their heads'
when the sun comes they run outside and play
Honestly, TONS of respect for this. I started the video thinking "great, he's just gonna pick this one up and be an expert at it like all the others". So it was really cool to see you NOT completely nail it for once, just having fun and going with it. Shows humbleness 🤙
And honestly really inspiring and encouraging. Even if we know on an intellectual level that he had to start out bad like the rest of us, it can be easy to forget. Actually getting to see such an amazing musician start over from zero and struggle so much really reminds you that he's human as well, that it really is all the result of hard work, and that most can get to the same level with enough dedication
I was more impressed with the people he was playing with. It's hard to keep up a positive attitude when someone in your band just isn't getting it. Everyone kept a good sense of humor and kept encouraging Rob, which is too rare in real bands.
@@jeffspaulding9834 I think that's just the difference in professionalism. I've had amateur singers and rappers take 50 takes to get one thing down.
Don't get me wrong, it was very boring beyond a point, but I'm getting paid to work on something I love in general which is music, and in all reality the longer they take the more I'm getting paid, so what do I have to get flustered and irritated about? I certainly wouldn't be less bored sitting behind a gas station counter or a pile of planks with an orbital sander for eight hours of my day.
But yeah, ultimately these guys are doing a different sort of job, but in the end they're getting paid to do what they love. While I imagine the other musicians will probably get a percentage of sales, Rob might have even been paying them by the hour, which brings it to being an even closer example to mine.
Yeah, he was definitely gonna be perfect playing how he never has. How did you expect that lol

I am left-handed and just take a right handed guitar and play upside down, without altering the guitar or strings. It's just the way I learned to play. I have tried to play a left-handed guitar with the strings reversed and it was too difficult. In all honestly, when I am playing, it doesn't feel like I am playing guitar in any different way than a right handed person. It's only when someone points it out to me that I realized it's different.
i play both upside down and with left handed guitars. some things are wayyyy easier with flipped guitars
@@TheNCRGaming I haven't had any success with a lefty guitar. So strange.
Check out Doyle Bramhall Jr. He plays the guitar with inverted strings. Great stuff.
Dick Dale also played that way, it seems less uncommon than you'd think
Same dude. High E is on the top of the stave, why isnt it on the guitar? Never made any sense to me hahaha
This is such a great idea. Taking an expert and then bringing them back down to a beginners level and having them teach both themselves and the student. I don't think this will be a concept easily translated to other skills, but it's a genius way to teach guitar.
One thing that is particularly cool about this is that on stringed instruments, like guitar, your hands are responsible for different aspects of music. If you play lefty, your left hand is suddenly completely in control of rhythm and your right in control of harmony, whereas it's the other way around for right-handed players. The switch between these two systems involves more than the muscle memory required to shape the chord and the strength to press the strings correctly.
(of course, more advance techniques will mix the aspects and blur the lines between each hand, such as tapping and fret-hand muting, but the core of it still stands for the most part)
Really cool that he did this. Teachers often forget what being a beginner really feels like.
It's something I do with cooking though. I've spent many an hour teaching friends how to do some foods and nothing helps more than going over the entire recipe from scratch, taking ntohing for granted and slowly making your way back up. So far, it's helped me learn some knife skills left-handed, how to pleat some doughs in many different ways and some interesting ways to substitute for things I can't get from the market with their home-made/McGuyver versions. Teaching is a very good way to learn yourself :D
Now I want to see someone make a mirrored piano.
Not just an electronic keyboard, but an actual piano.
This reminded me of the "backwards brain bicycle" from smartereveryday... It seems that after learning it, he tried to use a normal bicycle and couldn't at first, until it "clicked". I wonder if it is the same with musical instruments.
Because there are no left handed piano?
Meanwhile, Rob's out here playing guitar left-handed better than me.
YOU
@@croman5931 me?

rive moment
I mean if you practice for a month atleast 3 hours a week you can get way better than this, gotta learn to enjoy the grind lol
i'm a lefty but I'm playing in right-handed guitar because I don't have my own, we just have to adapt
You can also adapt like me!
I flipped the whole thing upside down!
XDDDDD
I kinda feel like getting a left handed guitar just for the reason of understanding your pain. I’m not gonna thou. I can’t play all to well anyway
I don't get, why don't y'all just rechange the strings the other way around.
Ripp
@@gimmble8537 guitars are not symmetrical and the notches at the end to keep the strings from sliding off the bridge are often different sizes.
My old teacher played guitar right handed for 20 years, but he lost his 3 middle finger in a carpentry accident. He started from scratch to learn left handed, and held his pick with his pinky and thumb.
One of my biggest fears , often makes me want to find a new career. Good on him for not giving up though.
Me, a righty who can barely play right-handed guitar: “Interesting…”
I'm a lefty who can barely play a lefty (beginner here) but I tried to play my bf's right-handed guitar. It's like going back to the day 1. Flip your own guitar over and try. :D
Ayyy twoset
@@andrewdavis5913 Sacrilegious since I haven't noticed the reference... 🤔

I'm a right handed person who plays left handed. There's no way in hell I can fret with my left hand or strum with my right. Left feels "right"!
It's cool seeing the process of a musician get frustrated learning their own instrument. Great video!
Now you know how left handed people feel when they can only find a right handed guitar!
How come this comment is from 17hrs ago when the vid came out a couple mins ago? Is this a reupload or something?
this will get a lot of likes . also are you patreon or what ?
ITS BECAUSE HE IS A PATRON
@@jishua4731 Patreons get early access
everyone starts out like that, many left handed guitar players play right handed
in guitar there isnt actually a dominant hand
Most guitar course instructors completely forget what it was like to be a beginner, and don't go through the effort that you have to learn it again, Rob. Thank you for truly putting in the effort to re-experience what a beginner does, and in doing so, making yourself a better instructor (which, in turn, will produce better students).
I heard "surf rock" as "Sir Frock"! :D
xD
I'm a lefty, and I often flip around to right-handed to get a laugh out of my beginner students to let them know we're ALL terrible in the beginning. It's a great icebreaker. Thanks for doing this.
the weirdest part about this video is seeing Rob playing a Telecaster. literally never seen him play one
We also shouldn't overlook the drummer and the other guitarist, they played brilliantly despite being paired with Rob lmao
Rasheed is one of the guitarists for Nonpoint. Awesome guy, too!
Keep practicing and you'll prove you really can switch to play either way! I wanna see like a six month progress update!
He already has. Hell, he's played both left and right, left upsidedown and right upsidedown
Hell yeah! I'm a left-handed guitarist and love to see this. Wish you could include some left-handed stuff when you do your giveaways. but now you know how we feel when we have to pick up right-handed guitars everywhere.
Why tho? There are enough lefty guitars Out there... Just Order one online or have your guitar Store Order and Set them Up for you. Squire, Yamaha, Ibanez, Harley Benton, Fender, epiphone or the really cheap stuff Like glarry is all available. Im a lefty and i dont get the complaints. Then again im No collector so i dont Care how many lefties exist compared to righties. Because as Long as i can get a cheap southpaw guitar im good. And thats No issue.
I asked a local Luther to Order a cheap lefty guitar and picked it Up later. If i would be fine setting them Up myself i could choose from several cheap Options online.
Harley Benton has Lots. Even unsusual Models in fancy colors
@@khoroshoorange There are, for sure, much more lefties than before. But if you're searching for something in particular, it might not exist or not being easy to find. But if you're not picky (I am) I guess then it's easy for you. :)
@@khoroshoorange Depends. If you want an ordinary guitar, yes.
You just needed to flip the picture over 😂
I slept handers are always watching out for that. I see a lot of videos and think oh wow left handed guitarist then I look at some writing somewhere in the image and see it's reversed and say ah shit.
Didn't know jessica but she's a monster drummer!!
I literally just subbed like 1 hour ago because I was randomly watching your old videos, and then you upload right after, keep up the vids!
2:10 Rob making deathrock, my life is complete
WOW jessica carried this so hard, well done - amazing drumming to fill the space
This is one of the most Wholesome thing I've seen in my life. Thank you for what you've done for the online guitar community!

It's an awful thing when your body hasn't caught up with your brain, LOL
exactly, its not like anyone showing him what to do would help xD..
@@CactusforceX Truth!
I feel like that's the reason beginners struggle anyways just watching anybody play guitar it always looks kinda easy if they're good but then you try and don't have the muscle memory
@@clownmoshpit2778 Agreed, Ironically I've had people tell me my performance looked easy and was flawless and I was struggling the whole time. Even more ironic sometimes I feel like I'm nailing it and a quick listen back tells otherwise. I guess perspective can really be subjective. :)
Fellow lefties, we have been heard!
Yes we will rise
*reads in Colins voice* we have been haired
Leftys got to represent!
I am so thankful for him. We're like some weird endangered species getting a long-overdue documentary series.
Glad to the minority and not norm.
I'm a lefty guitarist. I love love love you for making this. Thank you SO MUCH. ❤️
This video is so wholesome and I love it.
Keep up the FANTASTIC work Rob.
The only time I can feel like a superior guitarist in anyway, and it comes down to someone playing with their non-dominant hand with less than a year practice (not sure how much Rob had exactly by the time of recording this video) and me playing WITH my dominant hand for over 20 years!
Even being Left-handed and playing lefty, it's weird seeing someone do it especially you
Same here. I always feel strange when I see a video where somebody plays left-handed. 🤣 Anomality. 🤣
I love being a lefty who plays right handed, no hassel. I cant tell you how many times a bunch of friends were hanging out, passing the ole guitar around, and I'm so happy I was able to participate without having to bring my own guitar.
@@jaybeemhardscrote7466 that’s dope. I learned left handed. At times I wish I did it right handed. More guitar models to choose from.
This is so awesome! Knowing all that you can do and seeing you struggle to play with your offhand is really informative and inspiring. It sends the message that one can benefit from making due with the skills they have while striving to improve, and have fun with the process regardless of skill set. Awesome!
I love unveiling of big projects like this.im proud of you man
Thanks to you, I bought an electric guitar and started playing. One of the best things I have ever done. Thank you Rob.
Brooo, Jessica Burdeaux is such a badass ❤️🔥
I've seen her videos. She's an absolute beast behind the kit.
Ims so glad you uploaded! Love your videos!
Hey Rob, I just finished Guitar Quest, and had a great time with it. Thanks for all the knowledge and all the laughs. Love the behind the scenes of the finale :)
Our kind has been noticed
i was at sweetwater once and i asked how many guitars they had, it was 5,000
asked the same but for left handed it was about 25. its rough
This is pretty sad
And at places like guitar center they'll always have the same piece of shit overseas fender squier left-handed hundred-dollar piece of junk guitar and that's about it!
@@Will_Wel it is true
And they are all in black.
But when you do find the right ax, it's a precious moment that right handies can't possibly understand.
@@tjsogmc all my electric guitars have been black aside from a schecter damien 7, which was grey lol
This video was awesome! Your sloppiness is saved by a rock solid band behind you. :D
In all seriousness, from one lefty to another; just thank you for doing this. I really appreciate you going way out of your comfort zone.
I think its actually really cool you're literally putting your self in a beginners shoes. Thats a good teacher if I've ever heard it
You’ve got potential Rob, I reckon you could be a great guitarist one day.
Love this! It’s genius! Many masters of a craft have gotten so skilled that they take the basics for granted. Imagine teaching yourself to walk and breathe again 😂.
By going left-handed, Rob’s years of knowledge and experience didn’t go away, but his all muscle memory, callus, and mastered techniques vanished. The fact that even HE struggled so much shows how important practice is for playing an instrument.
Good job Rob! Love your channel and your personality dude.
Absolutely brilliant that you're so comfortable just not being *that* good with the left-handed guitars. I know a lot of players would get frustrated and just go back to what they're used to, so the way you handle the discomfort and mistakes with grace and humor is really what makes you such a good player in my book.
I teach at a School of Rock. One of my favorite things to do during my off time is pick up one of the left handed guitars in the school and try to play it. It is quite humbling and reminds me of what a lot of my beginners go through. We forget after a few years just how hard starting the instrument was. I think it is important for any guitarist who has been playing for at least 10 years to try this out.
Wow he really does sound like a beginner again, including the "aaah" every time you fail.
Very nice to see this from the outside as a lefty playing bass righthanded for a couple of years and now 'playing' guitar lefthanded.
Rob is definitely the most creative guitar youtuber out there. Every video is super inspiring
always wanted to try a lefty guitar.. gonna keep an eye out for a used rig
As someone who plays guitar left handed, i love the video. It's really cool to see how much people struggle when they're playing guitar with the wrong hand and it's also a bit annoying to walk into a Guitar Store and only see 3 guitars that you can actually play properly and even then, it still feels strange because i use 12s and these guitars usually have 9s on them, although that's a story for another day.
I'm a left handed guitarist too and I can play in two ways which are
1). playing Left hand guitar with strings in straight (E,A,D,G,B,E)
and
2).Right hand guitar holding it upside down in left hand & playing with strings (E,B,G,D,A,E).
I started with playing the standard left hand guitar but later when I wanted to further expand & try out playing other people's exotic guitars(most oftenly right handed ones) I had no other way but to learn them upside down so that I can just get some good feel of my playing as fast as I can.
The chord structures & holding positions and also improvisation are what I am almost used to now.
I find this way of playing very interesting & sometimes come up with completely different & beautiful new patterns or ideas. Infact I'm completely in love playing the right handed guitar upside down now, & I think that's the way I'm more diving into now. Also it helps me if I want to try others guitars which are most of the time right handed & can play immediately on them without looking for that specific left handed one.
Most of the time non-guitarists, non-musicians or people in general don't notice this way of playing but some true observers do notice it for sure.
This makes me so happy. Thanks for taking a picture with me at Lost Boys Drive in by Bridgeview!!!
Best of luck with the course, Rob!
The pain is real! Been there!!!!
Rob's hair are coming back? Whaaat? Nice!
Not exactly lol just pushing it forward.
so he DIDNT see that coffee aloe vera coconut recipe I sent him then?

Thanks for finally making me feel good about my guitar skills!

(Love you Rob, amazing job)
omg it's a fat waccoon!
try playing righty then
As a lefty aswell, i have, it was weird but didn’t feel too far from whet I usually do
I'm a lefty but I play right handed guitar.
@@noahcalland8316 ayyyyy me tooooooo
Right handed guitars just feel better amirite
Can't wait for the next video being "Left Metal/Mirrored Metal" - where every instrument is played left-handed/mirrored
hahah this was awesome! and you have such a positive attitude for learning :)
It's fun watching you try to play like this, 'cuz you are doing all of the newb things everyone does when they start. The super clumsy strumming, using only your pointer finger for the frets... I remember those days!
This reminds me of that british model who got to 120kg and went back to 85kg all in one year to promote his exercise program.

He should borrow one of MAB's dual guitars and give it a try
I've had the honor of jamming with a guy who could play a right handed guitar not only right handed (which is hard in itself) but also flipped so he's playing it left handed but with the strings upside down. He also could play a left handed guitar left handed and in the right handed position with the strings upside down. Oh yeah he could do it while singing well too. It's one thing to try it, it's a whole other thing to witness someone do it live, no edits, no camera tricks, etc. What Rob is doing here is truly a great attempt to grasp the concept, my hats off to You Mr. Scallon!
can't wait to see this course!
it sounds like Mars Volta at some points, is it because the guitar effects or they're both using left handed guitar..cool
If I had to guess, it's because Surf Rock uses a lot of non-western/more dissonant scales and The Mars Volta also experimented with a lot of unusual dissonant harmony. Plus less distorted guitar than is typical of punk/hardcore.
Let's appriciate Rob for buying a left handed guitar so he himself will feel a beginner again
This is a hell of a brain exercise! Great job Rob!
dude thats a genius way to form a beginner course wow, well done
Now, reverse the drum set as well ;D
Lefty here that has only played right handed. I feel like I would struggle only a little bit less in this situation.
Trying to teach my 6year old Ukulele but she’s left handed so I feel your torment! However it REALLY opened my eyes to just how difficult things can be for a beginner and it’s helped me not call her an idiot every 5 minutes when she zigs instead of zags
That drummer is fantastic. And her smile and personality is so infectious. She's having a ball.
When you get good enough, you should duet with yourself with a right and a left hand guitar.

Playing guitar left-handed: Pro
This is a great video for making me feel like "hey I guess I'm a pretty good guitarist" so even if I don't need the lessons at least I got that from it.
Great form on the drummer!
I'm a lefty but I play right-handed guitar, It's how I started and I just kinda stuck with it
It's the correct way, think for a minute how you've never heard of handism in classical instruments? I'm a left handed guy too, but we need to use two hands, there's no difference. In some regard, might even be beneficial, legato and fretting is easier for us.
@@GarrettX001 Yeah I did the same, I'm dominant lefty but I play right-handed guitar and I'm open-handed on drums lol
@@TheGrizzlyNinja My guess is, what is happening is that learning an instrument is hard, and they trick themselves into thinking the difficulty is with their dominancy, rather than the fact of instrument learning (or learning anything new for that matter) is hard.
@@GarrettX001 I've heard about people running into a wall because being lefties forced to play right-handed instruments (a guitar or a violin). IMO there's a reason why the hand that is the dominant for most people (right) is the hand that strums or bows and not the other way around. Some of those lefties (on guitar) got past the barrier when they switched hands and relearned everything.
I noticed while playing video games (with a controller = layout for right-handed) that in some tough spots I couldn't beat the game simply because I'm a lefty and my right hand is the weak one that couldn't push the button as fast and in a good rhythm as my left hand could. There's a reason why they placed that button on the right side of the controller and not on the left.
If I decided to pick up a violin, I can easily imagine how much harder it would be to be precise with the pressure and movements when using a right hand in compare to using my dominant hand. And there's more reasons why orchestras don't just simply allow to play anybody lefty there (can't remember them but somewhere heard about that).
But everybody's choice what they're gonna do. I decided it's not worth the risk whether I'm gonna run into that same wall.
And honestly, I think there just simply should be options for lefties when possible and practicable (not talking about every little unimportant thing) - if the lefty wants to use them. Why the hell not? Why shouldn't we have the option? Isn't like 10 % of people lefties? It's not like it's THAT rare.
@@molekyyli But again, with a two handed system of anything, it's a practice makes perfect dilemma. For example with video games, on a controller, would someone left handed also be able to respond to moving and aiming faster (Using FPS as example, probably most popular genre) and have an advantage there? I seriously feel it is people self-imposing these challenges upon themselves because they've been told that life will be harder as a left handed person. As a child, yes, scissors were annoying, but I grew up into an adult and got used to the function of literally 90% of objects being designed a certain way, and so far it's going well. The option for redesigned things is clear, but it's not in handedness, it's in the disabled community.

Some random wise guy, I don't know.
As a left handed player, this is how I feel every time I’m at a friend’s house without my gear. Respect to you for doing this!
This was such an adventure, amazing video
As a lefty... NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS LOL
Now you know how every lefty feels , hopeless at a guitar store
Forever stuck playing the right handed’s upside down.
That, and enduring the sidelong sneers of the employees when you ask about left hand basses.
Mhm.
When will they learn
I’ve been playing guitar for years now and I’m pretty sure I can like play guitar now and probably don’t need a beginner’s guitar course but y’all just look like you’re having so much fun I wanna watch it anyway...
I'm impressed Rob. Good work.
When you rebirth in a RPG game
Wow, I've never been this early before.
Really looking forward to this. When I lost my left hands pinky and ring finger in 2018 and had to go lefty.
