I'm a lefty who plays a right handed guitar upside down. They were all that was
($wise) available to me growing up in San Diego..so I persisted this way.
I've received my share of puzzled looks over the years..(especially with the 5
string banjo which I play too..'cause of its 5th string tuning peg halfway up
the neck)..
but like anything, it all becomes natural the longer you do it. It has posed
somewhat of a problem with the guitars I play (Jaguar & Jazzmaster)..with the
upper
neck stuff to some degree, but it isn't too bad...just makes for some creative
stretching. ;O) One of these days I'd like to get a lefty Jag or JM and string
it right
handed, just to see what I've been missing all these years.
Regarding trem picking..I entirely agree with Maui's post, some nights it seems
to flow effortlessly..while others it's like banging yer head against a brick
wall...go figure!
Best regards,
Mike

the "godfather of metalmedleys" himself?
