Hi,

I'm playing left handed as a beginner but I'm right handed:-( Kind of use to it now just have to look at everything backwards on the site in a way. My number 3 finger is cut off at the first knuckle from the finger tip down of my left hand. Playing left handed with my left handed guitar everything works its just awkward. A guitar teacher told me this a few years ago. to switch because where the finger is cut off just about a half inch to the first knuckle the finger is really in the way. If I was playing the guitar right handed. I was just wondering if there was something on the GT website that makes this a little easier to do the lessons that I've over looked etc?

Hi Rowcut,

Actually, Jon our CEO learned the opposite way, he's a lefty who went right.

I sympathize with your situation, it must be challenging to say the least. We considered making something available that would assist lefties, but the technological challenge is pretty steep. I don't know of anything I could offer you now that would help the situation, wish I could.

Thank's for your reply,

I'm taking it slow and just not getting in hurry. Just spending a little time each day on it etc. GT is still a cool site for sure.

I'm a lefty that started right for 8 months then switched left. I found a bunch of left hand friendly stuff on google but nothing on here I'm afraid. Kind of disappointed.
