    Couple things here my friend. I'm a left-handed guitar player and I've been playing for about 30 years. I think what you're going to find is, this might help you a little bit but at the end of the day, Hendrix used a lot of overdubbing and studio trickery that gave us a mystique about his tone. I'm a huge Hendricks fan and have studied his playing most of my life. The reality is, it's not hard to get his tone because he played the guitar upside down, it's hard getting his tone because he was a master in the studio.

    Thanks for diving so deep in your lessons. Looking forward for the comparison

    Looking forward to seeing this project and the new course ๐ŸŽ‰

    Aww you got me a beautiful new Stratocaster!!!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
  • You are going DEEP down the rabbit hole, my friend! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Chase that tone! ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿผ
  • @toneloke7489
    As soon as you start doing bands, and vibrato I noticed an Albert King cadence to them.
  • @RichTones
    Well if that doesnโ€™t work you can cover some Eric Gales lessons. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
  • @jamalabdul2009
    The major issue playing a Strat upside down is how you strum and the volume/tone knobs. They can get in the way of your palm as you strum. Iโ€™ve gotten used to playing Strats this way even though there are plenty of great lefty Strats around.

    L/R argument always killed me. I'm right handed but in my high school days I could easily punt 60+ yards left footed. Pissed my coach off so much and he never put me in any game.
  • @05645ci
    I do everything right handed except play the guitar, and what you are doing looks virtually impossible. It blows my mind to this day how impossible it would have been for me to learn fretting technique with my uncoordinated right hand. Good luck!

    What a gorgeous Strat. Have you tried the Hendrix signature guitar Fender put out a few years ago? I loved the pickups in it. They sounded very vintage and twangy.
  • I'm left handed and I think left handed guitars look weird ๐Ÿ˜‚
