Hello everyone.

I want to buy GH2 but I am left handed. Do they make a left handed guitar or am I going to have to flip it around and play upside down to get the neck of the guitar going the way I need it too???

The only thing about lefty flip is the whammy bar might get in your way. You would have to use it with you palm.

Why don't you just learn to play right-handed?

Sorry to sound like an ass, but if you've never played a guitar before (I'm assuming you havn't) then you can learn right-handed.

All im saying is that I learnt playing guitar LEFT HANDED..why would I try to learn a different way? When im good enough the way im comfortable with. There is a lot of smart asses on this site..you guys should learn what respect and how to answer a Q without any lip because ANYONE can be tough on the INTERNET. All i asked was a simple Q on Left Handed compatipilitliy. We all do not need to read about learn this learn that..you suck...so many ppl that are left handed go right. Who cares what other people do..whoever replied to me negatively you are all just drama queens.

it's not that simple. seriously. I'm lucky that I'm ambidextrous (sp?) and can use both my right and left (i primarily only use my left hand for writing).

I think youl be fine. I got he game, and i saw an achievement for beating a song with the left hand option on. I did it, and actualy found it easyer, since my right hand was at the top of the guitar to push the buttons. But for you it woul be normal. The only thing that is diffrent, is the whammy bar. It sits above your hand, insted of below it. Its not in your way, and all you gatta do is push it in with ur thumb, insted of ur fingers. Just make sher u get the newer model guitar. I got the one with the messed up whammy bar. It doesnt work all the time. So Gamestop said i can exchange it. Mines model #95055. You want #95065.

Even though GH2 has a lefty mode it's far from practical imo.

you can play left handed, it's hard, but i did it for an achievement. it turns all the notes the other way too so you don't get messed up. it works just like right handed except it's hard for me since i play right handed, otherwise it's the exact same thing.
