Why Playing a RH Guitar Upside-Down Is Genius

If you are an early days left-hand guitar player then I STRONGLY recommend you watch this before deciding what sort of guitar you will choose. A left-handed guitar, or right handed guitar? I’ll also show you a few players who do what I do, that is, play a RH guitar upside down. You will see that there is no barrier to doing the guitar a little different to everyone else. In fact, there are some massive upsides to doing this!! Upside-down guitarists featured in this video... Campfire Guitar Hero (Me!!)

Well, once the laughter had subsided, his friend said “you CAN’T play my guitar, you are LEFT handed. This is a RIGHT HAND GUITAR”. 😩 Dene said, “gimme that damn guitar, yes I can” and as they say, the rest is history. You see, Dene has since progressed from bedroom guitarist, to street busker, to garage band, to national tours and eventually INTERNATIONAL CONCERT TOURS playing at some of the BIGGEST live music arenas in the world. It’s amazing the opportunities that Sony Playstation’s Guitar Hero can give to someone who works hard enough and long enough on their passion😀😝. Fast forward 20 years (closer to 30 , but whose counting). Actually, Dene never really touched a REAL guitar for about 20 years. What a tragic waste of time and untapped talent that was. His fingers got older, his pitch perfect voice followed the way of his knees and hips… it got creaky. But Dene was not deterred. JUST LIKE YOU, one day he woke up and said “I can do this, I WILL do this!” and he started playing guitar again. He is now at the point in his guitar playing where he can share his (campfire) guitar skills and knowledge to the world (cue the Campfire Guitar Hero trailer 😍). But let’s all be very clear here... Guitar is a journey, not a destination, and Dene has so much more to learn himself on guitar. Whilst he is a super-competent campfire guitar-ist with an OK but NOT chair-turning voice on the Voice (you be the judge), his next guitar chapter is to learn solo-ing and lead riffs on his acoustic guitar. This is a whole different level and requires going back to basics, accurate string picking, scales, metronomes etc. You can follow his journey to lead guitar on Instagram. But in parallel to his guitar learning journey, his goal is to help all aspiring guitarists/singers to just enjoying playing and sharing great songs. That’s what get’s Dene out of bed everyday. Playing and enjoying great songs on his epic, song slaying axe (actually, it’s an acoustic mini Martin, so it’s actually not that impressive, epic or scary). Dene loves to rediscover THOSE FORGOTTEN SONGS WE ALL LOVE TO REMEMBER, and he wants to share these with you. Yep, Dene knows great songs from all era’s and is definitely one of those “Cool Dad’s”… just ask him. So, that’s the story with Campfire Guitar Hero. It’s all about rediscovering those great and often forgotten songs we all love to remember. It’s about learning how to play these on guitar in about 5 minutes, giving you the essentials in a quick and entertaining format on YouTube. So what are you waiting for?
