@@ruthlesscutthroat I disagree! I checked out your channel and think you sound great. Plus, we’re not all gonna be Jimi Hendrix. I definitely won’t lol. But if you’re playing the instrument and having fun, that’s the most important thing
Exactly! What you see in the video is two different guitar configurations. In the first part, I’m playing a right handed Ibanez and just holding it upside down. My Strat, though, is left handed and then restrung righty, so it’d be upside down if I held it traditional way
When I started playing guitar hero as a kid, it seemed more logical to me to use my dominant (right) hand on the fretboard. Then, my first guitar was a classical guitar, so I didn’t think I was doing anything wrong by holding it upside down, since it was symmetrical. I learned some songs and was playing for a month or two and by the time I got around to buying and electric guitar, I was firmly committed to how I’d learned to play, so I just stuck with it!
How long have you been playing and what part of your playing do think you've improved the most?
20 years and I still suck.

You’re truly one of the best guitarist I know. I Chris and I both agree. So kudos dude.
11 years, 9 month, and 15 days to I’ll be playing like that!!
I chuckled; you’ll get there!
Sickk broo
Since you play upside down, if you flipped the guitar to normal, wouldn't it then be upside down for you?

@@Upside_Down_Guitar_Guy you're badass
Acamazing
I’m curious! Why do you play upside down?
