feels right to play left, do you?

for years I’ve been playing guitar right-handed. the fact is I’m lefty. when i took a moment to think, actually it wasn’t easy and i had difficult times in learning right-handed guitar playing (and I’m still learning guitar now). some people might think why i should bother to learn right-handed guitar playing instead of playing it lefty. Here the best reason of all time, “Because at first i didn’t even have a guitar!”… i borrowed my friend’s guitar, which is of course it’s a right-handed guitar,and start learning to play it. Everyday i came to his house and we learned it together.

i love this sentence, “we learned it to-get-her”. 😀 hahaha, everyone has own reason in playing guitar and mine was to get some cute girls’ attention. what a great reason to start guitar playing.

anyway, 😀 years gone by and i found myself right-handed when it comes to guitar playing. while until now, I’m still curious about playing guitar lefty. so today i decide to learn the lefty way. i have a Yamaha CX-40 nylon strings guitar and i changed the strings order. this post is a kind of legal agreement for myself to play left guitar. i made promise to myself that i will perform my left guitar playing in front of people on stage a year for now. actually i can’t raise the bar for more. it is a longer-term deadline compared with when i learn the right-guitar playing. no girls get involved in this agreement :D.

Screw Your Tone !!!

screw your toneYeah, nobody give a damn about this, at first. but do you know, a screwdriver will get you the precise tone you want to your guitar sound? yes it is. Screw Your Tone by adjusting the gap between strings and pickups you can redefine your guitar tone. here i share you the pic.

screw pickups
adjusting the gap between strings and pickups

by narrowing the gap between strings and pickups, you will get darker and fatter tone.just simply screw the pickups like the picture above (both screw heads). Screw Your Tone more to go deeper.

if you want brighter tone, of course all you have to do is make the gap wider. basically this will help you in solving tone problem before you go to amps and effects stuff. it is necessary to know your guitar physics before you get upset about how your guitar sounds on practice and stages.

screw your tone and get excited!
