Theory / left-handed guitar

Understand guitar theory without losing your place on the neck.

Learn the ideas behind chords, scales, keys and intervals, then connect them to the fretboard in front of you.

Left-handed guitar theory

Make the patterns musical.

Practical guitar theory for left-handed players, with diagrams and explanations presented in a natural left-handed orientation.

The theory itself is the same for every guitarist. The problem is that many explanations assume a right-handed fretboard view, which forces left-handed players to mentally reverse the diagram before they can use it. These resources are designed to remove that extra step.
