Lefty Tuning
E.B.G.D.A.E
Watch a left handed guitarist play a right handed guitar - they play chords backwards - and finger them strangely, too. You can simulate this left/right confusion by restringing your guitar from high to low (or by programming a MIDI guitar controller). Interestingly, it doesn't take long to become quite proficient at left hand guitar (assuming you start out proficient at right hand guitar!), because the left/right symmetry makes many chords easier to remember. In general, scales are more confusing than chords - the sound often rises when you expect it to fall, and falls when you think it should rise. Many standard strums take on an interesting character because the "alternating bass" turns into an "alternating treble." Some chords are easier to finger, like the barred E major. Some are more difficult: try to play an E ninth at the 7th fret. There are some surprises, too, some chords that "don't exist" in the standard tuning (note the F minor at the fifth fret). Hmm, I wonder what other tunings would be fun in their "lefty" versions?

Testimonies From Guitar Players Around The World

"The layout and content of this application cannot be over-praised! Unbelievably thorough reference for anything you want to learn about guitar chords and notation, including complete support for traditional and non-traditional scales. It's completely intuitive and a just a joy to use. The team that created this application should (virtually) stand up and take a bow! If we don't have a million more great guitar players in the coming years, it will not be because this app didn't exist. TRY IT!" Bill McNichols

"I for one have been playing guitar for 58 years till now every coarse I ever did could not explain as simple as this it is by far the the best tutorer someone like me could under stand and appreciate to the builder of this software well done indeed." Rima Hemi

"Very nice application and useful tool for guitarists. Nice layout and design. Easy interface for navigating. Very nice for a free application. I saw no reference that it was merely a trial version, so I would be very disappointed if at some point it stops working and I need to pay. I don't mind paying for things if the developers are up front with things and say it's a trial." David Goguen
