Justin Sandercoe from justinguitar has been doing a series of videos where he is taking his own lessons and learning to play left-handed. He is "Nitsuj" in this series. It is pretty interesting to watch as he struggles along with the same issues the rest of us beginners suffer through. Even as experienced as he is, things that you don't think of as left or right handed, like rhythm, are clearly harder for him when he is playing lefty. It's a pretty smart way for him to test his own teaching methods and along the way he has discovered a few things that have led him to change the way he teaches a few things.


It takes as long as it takes unless you quit - then it takes forever and you will never get there.
