Some very famous lefty guitarists have made legend status (Paul McCartney and Jimi Hendrix to name but two) and you can too, with a little help along the way.
This is a fantastic program that takes the left-handed guitarist from start to finish: from basic orientation to the guitar and tuning it all the way through to power chords and riffs with all references to left-handed playing only. There’s a very handy chords reference chart at the back as well as a scales reference chart, both made only for the left-handed guitarist. There are even a few hints on how to comfortably read right-handed materials and diagrams that are so often used in sheet music.
Chapters:
1. Introduction to the Guitar
2. Reading Music on the Staff
3. Strumming-Style Notation
4. Reading Tablature
5. Power Chords and Riffs
6. Barre Chords
7. The Blues
8. Fingerpicking styles
I really like the CD that comes with the book. In the early stages, it allows the guitarist to see and hear the notes correctly during the learning process. Later on, the tunes are great to play along with. And then when you are good enough, you can also develop harmonies with the recorded tunes for even greater enjoyment.
