Feel free to post any videos or demos in this thread of people playing left-handed guitars upside down, the ”right way”..

And also of left-handed guitarists playing right-handed guitars upside down.

I managed to get a left-handed Yamaha Pacifica in mint condition yesterday for only $50…

So much fun(!) and I suggest any right-handed player should buy a cheap ”Lefty” themselves and explore the new possibilities

This is my very first recording from today with the Pacifica UNPLUGGED.
I used the iPad microphone(!) in Cubasis and PD Space Guitar Synthesizer + a rhythm I made in Lumbeat's Indian Drummer:

Getting my strat I was into that a bit, since I don't like how strat controls are placed. Getting those on top instead I thought would be great.

But ended up with non-inverted standard strat, moved volume under pick guard and bent the selector a bit out of the way. Thought I would modify and make tone controls stacked pot and put volume back in one of those holes. But did not happend so far.

I see nothing creative about inverted body in itself.

Really? I'm a southpaw who plays right. Also bat right in baseball, and shoot right in hockey.

Same here. Well, the guitar, not the colonial sports of course. In cricket one bowls left handed (flighted filth..) and bats right-handed. Drumming right handed too.

'One' certainly has airs, given his Marxist bent. Do Marxists play krikit, then?

Yep. Here’s Jimi writing.

Though it could be possible that he was born left-handed and forced to write right-handed as a child, which was not uncommon at the time.

They gave up on me with that. When I pitched, I was a southpaw with the natural screwball that lefties are known for when throwing smoke.
Had other teams demand to see my birth cert. lol.
Ahhh the good ol' days. Last baseball game I went to had me feeling like going out onto the field to see if I could hit one over the left field fence. Made me sad.

sinister.
nuns used to slap the lefties with rulers at my school.

Playing left-handed guitars the ”right way”! Playing upside-down… ;)
