A question which my friend Steve meant to ask Bob when he met him on Monday.
Why does he play a right handed guitar and strum it from bottom up, instead of playing a left handed guitar? Would that not be easier? Steve knows a lot about guitars you see. Maybe Bob is the only one to answer that one.
a lot of leftie's do it.if thats the way he learned (cos left handers arent that easy to find) then it makes sense really.i was impressed to see that johnny's acoustic is the same as mine
Because his school mate wouldn't let him restring the guitar he borrowed from him, he learnt to play it upside down!
yeh i'm left handed and as i'm just starting to learn the guitar and i don't know how to restring it i thought maybe it would be cool if i could learn it like that for a challenge (plus the guitar isn't mine ....... anymore i'm borrowing it)
I read somewhere that he was taught how to play the guitar by a righthanded friend at school, so he now plays it 'cackhanded'!
That's pretty much it... He says in Is That it? that he borrowed a guitar from a friend in order to learn, but the friend wouldn't let him change the strings, so he learned backward. I'm pretty sure he's self taught though
I am left handed too .. and I also choose to play a right handed guitar,. just to make it easier. it's not harder to learn how to play, if you're not used to play guitar.
Jules wrote: How can you possibly teach yourself to play the guitar? Seems pretty amazing to me. I have a complete mental block when it comes to learning music. Steve is getting pretty good playing The Great Song of Indifference, and he learned all by himself.
Cool! We should have an audio chat some day (no idea if there even is such thing) and jam together! lol
Do you have the guitar chords of Indiff, Steve? Are they online somewhere?

The newer versions of Yahoo chat have voice, but only one person's voice can be heard at a time. You need to have a mic plugged into the computer, and then you click a part of the screen to "talk", but again, you can only get audio from one person at a time.
There may be other chat programs with the feature as well (maybe AOL?), but Yahoo is the only one I've used.
learning how to get a single note out of it would be an achievement for me. Learning how to read music would be something too, let alone getting a full Geldof song out!! If only... I don't think I'd be joining you on your jamming sessions somehow
