I know this will sound crazy but after 30 years of playing right handed adequately, I decided to learn to play left handed. As a lefty playing righty, the chords always came very easy, but the strumming was a challenge. It always frustrated me that I couldn't get any better no matter how much I practiced. So, I bought a new guitar and here I go. Now if I can just get used to holding a guitar backwards . . .

Whoa - so your BRAIN will know everything that is supposed to be happening, but your HANDS are having to essentially start over.

What a challenge! Yes, do keep us posted - and have fun!
