Hey there, I too use to play right handed and had started playing in 2001 and taught myself how to play from guitar tabs never took a lesson. My biggest problem was when I played my left hand would get major cramps when I played alot of bar chords. But about 3 year's ago I lost my pinky, ring and middle finger and was pretty much screwed on ever playing right handed again hell I almost lost my index finger too but with alot of stitches and pins they saved it. So that left me my thumb and index finger. I traded all my guitar's and got some left handed ones and soon realized this was not gonna be an easy task. Until I found out about rocksmith which I had no idea existed so back in February of this year I got it and man how it has really helped. I also noticed that when I played bar chords I didn't cramp. I still have away to go but I have gotten close on a few songs at mastering them of course they were on rhythm but hey that was what I played mostly right handed rhythm with some lead mixed in, never really could do any solos but was on the verge of getting good up until I lost my fingers. But now I can play more solos now than my whole ten years before right handed and I have only been playing left handed 6 months. In another 1 to 2 years I will probably be playing really good can't wait. Only problem I have been having is my holding the pick. Use to be able to use my middle finger when I played right handed to keep my pick from spinning now that is absolutely not possible. I have tried picks that have ways of attaching to my finger but I have found them to be worthless. I do have a few ideas but will need some one with the right equipment on that but that's another topic, anyways losing my fingers I believe was a blessing in disguise because with my cramps I was never gonna go far but now nothing is holding me back. Never know where this will take me but I'm ready nd put every minute that I can into practicing. Just wanted to share after reading your post. and thanks custom forge. Next would love to learn how to build custom songs looks fun.
