I've been reviewing the promotional material for BBG, in the hope that it will work for a friend who is determined to play left handed; he has a left handed instrument but can't seem to find a live teacher who will work with a left handed student. Everything looked good up until I saw the Chord Diagrams lesson. I think I probably could coach him through that, but I live 600 miles away.
It occurred to me that as a right handed player, I see chord diagrams and tab as though I'm looking at the fretboard. If I can convince him to look at the diagrams as though he is looking at the the back of the fretboard (kind of through the back of the neck) maybe that would work.
I think I can get him to work with right handed tab, but chord diagrams are a real concern. Short of having him hand write "flipped" chord diagrams, are there any other really great techniques to help a lefty? Anything from any of Griff's courses? Anything from another online resource? I used to teach guitar about 55 years ago, but never hand a left handed student... <laugh>
Thanks,
Dan
