Switching right to left

I'm a lefty that has been trying to play righty for 8 months. It doesn't feel natural and my right wrist was severely reconstructed after a motorcycle accident 10 years ago so I don't have good strumming technique with my right hand. My instructor and I agree that I might do better left handed so I'm starting over from scratch as a lefty.
Is there any advice anyone of you can give me to help me with this transition?


Thanks in advance

Chuck

Hey Chuck,

I'm sorry to hear about your motorcycle accident. I'm also a lefty who's been trying to play righthanded guitar and found it awful. Fortunately I only tried to play righthanded for about three weeks before I switched back to the 'right' choice for me.

My advice is just to take things slowly. Never try to do things faster than you can unless you get it 100% right. Otherwise you may try to do wrong things fast and you start to develop incorrect habits.

Hope that helps.

JJ

Thanks for the advice.
