Pretty serious shit to get to third chair for a major college music program. I started out on trumpet, I love Louie Armstrong and like the idea of only three valves to fuck around with. Played that through jr high and about that time I picked up the guitar. Played guitar until my industrial accident at twenty which destroyed my left hand and any ability to play guitar.

Fast forward about twenty years and I got to thinking I should try a left handed guitar. With a reduced grip on my picking hand I'll never be Eric Johnson or Leo Kotke but I can still play and it feels good for the soul. Everyone should play some kind of musical instrument, a great way to let off steam and express yourself with out words.

For those wanting a good way to learn guitar, I would HIGHLY suggest Rocksmith, get it for what ever has the best speakers, console or computer. I use it on my computer and really enjoy the scales with background instruments that follow along with beat and temp. It has a interesting way of teaching music that is close to what Tab was when it first came out, a way to learn music with out the need to understand every note on the neck.
 
I been playing this guitar left handed cause I am. Maybe that's why I am having so much trouble, I used to play bass on the right hand.
 
I am thinking of buying rocksmith to help me along, I have been playing left handed, instead of right like i did when I played bass. Mainly cause I am left handed lol
 
I still have my set of electric drum set from high school at my parents still kicking it. Im definitely not as good or as fast anymore but still fun every once in awhile when im over there. Can sort of play the guitar and bass, but more of the along the lines of reading tabs.
