    I pinned my location by using the closest city. My marker started moving up the West Coast. I just put my address minus the city, since I live in the county, and it has stayed in place.

    Six you may want to get yourself a Grolsch washer or two. Put these on your peg after the strap. They work great, never lost a loose strap with one on. You can get them at a home Brew store by the bag. You don't need to pay premium prices from Joe B. the merchandiser. Cheers This bag is $8.50 on Amazon.

    I'm sure many of you have already heard of this website. He really does have some interesting technique advice and rhythm advice. I have found a lot of interesting videos here.

    Hi Cindy: This fact was driven home to me in spades yesterday. Go to Sweetwater.com and search on Left handed acoustic guitars. There are 1 or 2 Taylors. There are pages of Martins. Most are so new that they don't have pictures yet. Availability or even a chance to order a model is a big selling point to a lefty. Cheers

    I have some Jim Dunlop picks myself and I prefer them. I have left thumb metal thumb picks and plastic thumb picks from Dunlop as well as the Stubbies. But my favourite guitar picks, my fingers.

    Sounds to me like John's Body Beat could be a cheap thrill too.

    Greg I am considering a nylon string guitar. I have heard people complaining of problems with Cordoba guitars and the 12th Fret. Do you know anything about this. My choices are limited since I am a lefty.

    I just asked my rep at Sweetwater for price quotes on the two guitars I like. the GK Studio Negra Lefty MSRP is over $1000. Sweetwater's quote $699.00 The 55FCE Lefty MSRP $1995.00 Sweetwater's quote to me $1199.00 same as my Stratocaster was. Sweetwater's Luthiers do a 50 point evaluation before they shipped to you. They come set up and ready to go. Just a thought. Good Luck

    But I think it will probably be this guitar..... https://www.cordobaguitars.com/guitars/orchestra-ce-lefty/

    I have bought equipment from Sweetwater.com. Not only are the people great, my account manager has been Kurt Martin, he has been a real help. Found me left handed guitars, Martin and Fender and is great with advice on equipment. It is checked out, put through multiple tests and evaluations by their Luthiers before they ship to you. Prices are good as well. I am not affiliated with them either, just a good place to do business with. And you get a bag of candy in each shipment. Cheers

    My Yamaha is a steel string guitar, but they are well built and sound great. It is my Dread. I am looking at a nylon string guitar myself.I have been thinking of Cordoba, they do Left handed as well. Good luck. Cheers

    I hope that I am done with my music room by then. Setting up my PC to stream today, should be setting up my equipment and making a list of what I need.......

    Wow what a happy story Mantonanjin. I hope she carries through with her start. Looks like she will from the look on her face.

    Someone never took German. That is Fur Elise. Or, For Elise.

    I really want to come to the next one. But I have my best friend to take care of and she can't come. She is geriatric now and I don't leave her alone. When she passes I will be taking a road trip to one of these conferences.

    Wow pretty guitar.

    He is unique Plantsman. He is almost like the Blues version of Hawkwind. He can work a rhythm.

    Here's one Idea.....I have a couple sites I use. http://musicards.net/

    I found this video on YouTube. Interesting lesson. I also have a couple CD's by R.L.Burnside........

    Thanks Plantsman. I did list this site, on the L&M Guitar site, as a resource for lefties. http://leftyfretz.com/ A lot of information on this site. I even learned that the founder of Gibson was a lefty.

    The do make some lefty models Cindy. Hard to get though. I had an easier time with Martin. Yamaha, you can buy lefty acoustics in stores. I have one. Wrecks my fingers I find. My Martin is easier on the fingers, slightly wider Nut for Finger Style and it has a built in tuner. I just don't play my SG or Strat as much. Also My Martin is a "Performing Arts Series" so it has a cutaway and it is also not a Dreadnaught. Easier on the arms.
  25. Grog
    I can't pick one. they all make some good guitars. From Squire to Epiphone, they all have some great guitars. I play my Martin more than my other guitars. But I am limited in that I am a lefty and the manufacturers will not do all their lines for you in left handed. Taylor thumbs their nose at you from my experience.
