Current Mood: happy with my old acoustic...

- recently took up my guitar again, an old acoustic Vantage... luckily, I'm ambidextrous, so the left-handed way isn't a huge challenge, except for one chord positioning so far (picture above) ... singing and playing songs myself are my goals... it's way overdue...
Two reasons why I choose
To play my right-handed guitar
The left-handed way, with
The strings 'upside down' :
1 - my left wrist has a sizable cyst between my ligaments making my hand too
weak and too painful to apply the pressure to make the chords
2 - I don't like the idea of being limited to an adapted guitar to be able to play it
Right now, doing the G
Chord is a little challenging
Awkward to switch and press
All three fingers at once
It's a strange positioning
Not all too natural getting
The index across in one go
I can, but not always yet
It's getting there, though
Muscle memory is definitely
Happening as I switch most
Chords relatively well so far
It's just that G
I found two ways to do it
But one is completely 'no'
The other, a little awkard
But much more doable
I'll keep at it, make it work
There's really nothing else
Better than to play music!
