      If you watch him he plays the solo on just one string as much as he can to avoid confusion on going up or down for higher or lower. He just knows that closest to the pick is higher and closest to the headstock is lower

      @@sherlock_psych I recommend all of my left handed friends to learn right hand guitar. Why? Well, when you're a complete beginner, it's going to be just as difficult to learn right handed as it would be left handed, once you learn it doesn't matter (I can confirm from many friends already). The REAL difference is that if you learn to play right handed guitar, you will never have trouble finding the exact guitar you want in the store (Left handed models are really limited), you have more chances buying second hand, and you can play any guitar you find (At a party, at a friend's house, etc). It's very useful! :)

    • @henkdevries7634
      @henkdevries7634 6 років тому +4

      Well, it's not determination. He just knows his attention can't reach much further than 10 hours. Which is often the time you need to master 1 thing. If he were to say he wants to learn to play guitar with his left hand as good as with his right, he'd have no motivation, because learning with your wrong hand is waaaaay harder, and he knows how much time he put into learning guitar with his right. That would be damaging to his motivation and therefor the determination would be low. But simply saying "I'm gonna do this small thing, and if I like it I will do a next thing" that is how you do stuff you like more and try stuff you end up not liking for about 10 hours.
      It keeps everything fun and challenges you in an easy way.

    • @patrickclark3337
      @patrickclark3337 7 років тому +7

      AESTETHICAL​ Chords are hard for someone who has absolutely no musical abilities. You're probably someone who has some musical inclination or it's in your DNA as it is mine. Give someone with no musical inclination a guitar and try to have them do a B chord, or even change from two simple chords like a G to a C, then you'll see what I mean.
      People who don't have that ability to pick up a guitar and play it within a few minutes, won't be able to do it without a lot of practice. Doing a proper barre chord and getting all the strings to produce sound correctly isn't easy at all for the average person, nor is it any easier for them to make a proper A, C, G, F, etc chord every time without practice.

      I'm also a 'lefty' but play guitar right handed. I learned from a right handed guitarist so had to follow his lead, however when I taught myself to play bass guitar I managed to find a cheap left handed bass and so learned left handed. Causes a few raised eyebrows when I swap from 6-string to bass. Weird thing is I'm presently learning to drum and have discovered I'm a natural right handed drummer. I think a lot of lefties have to adapt to a predominantly right handed world and in doing so we become ambidextrous. Left handed guitars are available, though some will cost a little more but if you're keen to learn guitar from scratch then it doesn't really matter if you learn left or right handed. Keep at it, you will only improve. Good luck.

      +Jaymes Leno. You're welcome. Maybe we'll see you on YT someday, tutoring others? Oh and by the way - I love your avatar. The Beatles are still, in my opinion, a major influence for many musicians, myself included. Funny thing is my Dad looks a lot like George Harrison and on several occasions when I was a kid, he was stopped in the street and mistaken for Harrison. If you want to see some wicked guitar playing look up Mukuchi-chan on YT and watch her cover version of 'God Knows'. Strewth, can that girl play!

      @ViaticalTree 7 років тому +6

      If you're starting from scratch, there is absolutely no reason you can't learn guitar right handed. While both hands are important in guitar playing, fretting notes (left hand for a righty) takes the most dexterity. So most guitar players use their non-dominant hand for the more difficult part. Theoretically a lefty learning guitar right handed shouldn't be any more difficult than learning left handed.
