So did I, when I took guitar for a year.
Gave it up for the concertina...
20 button English, C/G. It's like having two harmonicas strapped to a bellows, only more confusing...
Skewbrow:
Thanks for the interesting bits. I figured it out that playing left-handed you would want to reverse the order of the strings. Looking at Dad's old acoustic guitar (the only one I ever tried) I don't see any problems with that, because the guitar itself is symmetric, so a lefty could just restring it, flip it over, and start playing. With an electric guitar there might a problem, if the guitar lacks mirror symmetry.
Kudos to Libba for turning a "handicap" to an advantage. Reminded of the story of a Belgian guitarist Django Reinhardt who had to relearn to play with two unusable fingers in his left hand.

The church I attend (my wife's church, I'm non-theistic) is cooking for 50 today, they usually get about that many, and walk-ins are always welcome. It's like that everywhere. There's no reason to be alone if you don't want to be.

Well, here in my country we don't celebrate thanks giving day. It makes sense, since we don't have the historical reason to do it.
But i really think that every country should have a day like this, just to be thankful for the things we have, for the people who loves us and the people that we love back. Lately here in my city, people are just angry with each other, getting frustrated by every little thing, and we don't look at the many and valuable things we have, or be greatful for all the little things.
So, although i cannot celebrate it, happy thanks giving day to you all!
And thank you for everything!
Thank you psyduck! :psyduck:

As did Dick Dale. Y'know, the guy who did that crazy guitar for the soundtrack of Pulp Fiction. And inspired Jimi Hendrix.
