Been looking at a left handed bass and researching if anyone else has done this strange thing, basically this bass I’m looking at buying is more pretty than the right one for sale. Plus I’m a drummer , so really , a left handed bass aught to be easy, right ?
I am left handed, although I do write with my right hand. I shoot a pistol with my right hand as well. But I shoot a rifle with my left hand and using my left eye as well, not the right one. I box and play baseball left handed as well. I have held a guitar right handed and immediately turned it upside down. Then my hands felt like they were dancing partners. I am looking to buy my first bass guitar soon. I have never even held a bass guitar, but I feel like that is the only comfortable way for me to play and learn. Oh dang, just realized this is two years old. I hope you completed this for one year. I want to learn, then watch your video a month later to see where your progression is and if I can do as well as you do! Perhaps I came upon your brilliant idea, two years too late, sadly. Either way, I enjoyed your video, and subscribed to your channel.
You should try a really left handed bass guitar
Now you know how a lot of lefties feel when we start out. Some have been FORCED to try to learn right-handed and that is not teaching, its bullying.
I love seeing right-handed basses restrung lefty. It shows lefty bassists can have more options than just hunting for lefties. Only thing with the bass you have re-strung, you have to re-adjust the bridge saddles as well as change the nut
My left hand has more flexibility but I learnt playing bass using right hand so but I’m managing same way I just wish my right hand was the stronger hand in this case
As a RH novice, I crave videos of LH players as it makes for playing along with a mirror image to guide me. Watching a seasoned player struggle with the physical switch looks just like me watching a vid and trying to flip it before fingers just give up.
cici, I'm doing the reverse.I'm a lefty but I had a left side stroke. Now I'm learning bass right handed. I had to force myself not to switch back &forth. Fretting is hard now , butI have better timing plucking with my right hand. Better tone came with getting my fretting hand thumb in the correct position.
I’m really having a hard time. As a left-hander, I’m considering learning the bass guitar, but in my country, the bass is a niche instrument, with very few learning courses, and basically no left-handed bass teaching. I can’t find any online tutorials about left-handed bass either. Can anyone give me some advice on whether to use my right hand or left hand?
Aww I'm left handed bass guitar????????
Im naturally left handed 100% can not play right handed i’ve tried playing right handed .
Am left handed really looking for a bass guitar that will suite me
I'm left-handed but I learned to play right-handed. After more than 25 years, I started learning to play left-handed. I take note of the practice hours and I'm already at 400 hours in about a year and a half.
It's been fun. At first it was hard because, even though I am left-handed, I still had a beginner's hand (to the left-handed side), like anyone does at first. But now I'm more comfortable and relaxed, and I even find it funny that, when I make the gesture of playing (with my hands), now I make the gesture to the other side. XD
I'm an absolute noob to Bass guitar – and needing to purchase a Left handed bass – any recommendations would be appreciated?
Since you are doing this for fun, you should play a right handed bass upside down with your left hand
It's a right handed bass strung left handed, it looks like.
Really impressive thanks for posting ????
It's okay ???? I did it before it's not hard but it takes more time it's okay ????
I played left handed strung right from 1971 to 1997. Stringing left is much better.
I'm a leftie who grew up in a family of guitarists. It's actually quite nice to play with the thick string on the bottom and light on top. Not entirely relevant… yet here we are 🙂
Good luck????
I'm normally a righty bass player, but good luck with that, cici!!!
Cycling through some of your 'shorts,' it occurs to me; Dave should let you be the bands' image consultant. Just let you make them over, completely, with no talking back! You have a great talent, and it goes beyond just your great musicianship ????
It need not be Metal, necessarily, but why not be all you can be?
good luck in the challenge. you're doing great
Fantastic exercise in neuroplasticity!
This is AMAZING! I love that no matter how badass you are at bass, you always try something more! Huge inspiration!
That's awesome, can't wait to see how it goes. I bought a cheap left handed bass a year or so ago to do the same thing. Currently I'm terrible at it. You did way better than I can even do now. Good luck and enjoy!
I'm right handed guitar player but currently learning left handed because of one of my favorite artists Kurt Cobain I can only play one song successfully
Might have some effect on your normal right handed playing. I noticed I had "magically" gotten better att playing keyboard after only playing guitar for a few years and picked keyboards up again, oh dexterity I don't remember having, nice.
Interesting I wonder if using both sides will improve coordination I know some drummers practice hitting both hands together in triplets to train the weaker hand. Great vid thanks.
