I wanted to show that learning guitar is fun, easy and, with a little perseverance, really musical. Since I already play guitar right handed I decided to learn left handed all over again.

I always wanted to learn how to play guitar but thought that it was impossible to find a guitar for the left handed since most left handed stuff i find to be a pain to find
what is cheap there where you live, in Brazil it's 6x more expansive. Just for you see my pain
Hey! I want to learn how to play guitar, should i pick up an acoustic or electric guitar?
Omg I literally have that same guitar he used in the beginning 😱
Should've played the lick.
I play guitar left handed but I’m right handed!
its not cheep at all
bet you could pick up ukulele faster. Especially after learning guitar.
what makes the guitar do that eyeyeyeye sound at 5:10 ? pls because i want to know, i wanna make my guitar do that sound
Hi Mike, maybe you will see this comment or maybe you wont, I have always loved you videos and seeing how you learn all those things, its really inspiring, the thing is, I've been wanting to learn how to play the guitar for almost 3 years now, but I just can't afford to buy one, im 18 years old and im a Dad already of a beautiful little girl but all my money goes basically in diapers. I just wanted to see if you could gift me a acoustic guitar to be able to learn how to play it. And finally complete that dream. Anyways, Sorry for bothering you
I was attending guitar classes and going for trinity exams but I didnt really have fun and the line in which he said play along with your favourite songs inspired me and now I absolutely love guitar.
“Guitar is easy and C H E A P” yeah sure ok
I wonder if you can get violins like this coz that would be fun for me 🤔
Man can you teach me how to play? I mean, I can play, just not that good... Lmfao
Lmao he can play left handed better than me right handed
Yess, finally a right hand player is trying lefty, I’m a lefty that wrote this at 35 seconds in. This should be fun!!
Hes a lefty just so you but he does throw righty.
Where’s the right handed learn quick?
That's a quick video.
*"Here's Wonderwall"*
All fingers laugh in bass
i think learning the guitar wrong way is harder than learning it first time
LEFT handed = "doing it the wrong way: ... $200 = "starting cheap" ... What WHITE PRIVILAGED neighborhood did you grow up on? - cheap in my 'hood - is building it out of a brrom stick & a pizza box ... $200 AIN"T cheap for most of us .
0:08 ... "Guitars are cheap and easy to carry." ... (Electric guitar ... chair ... cables ... pedals... amp ... electric cord) ... COMPARED TO ? ... New Harmonica - $12 ... New accordion - $90 ... New Ukelele - $120 ... New trumpet $ - 150 ... ALL (under $200) and a lot more portable - as well.
You don't need a chair if you have a strap. Nor do you need an amp. You can carry a laptop with Amp sim software, a mic/speaker breakout adapter with a 1/4 inch adapter (like $5-10) and a tiny clip-on bluetooth speaker all in a backpack. Backpack and guitar case. that's the whole setup right on your back. No big deal and not super expensive.
0:26 ... RACIST FILTH ... I'm LEFT HANDED ! ... Are you saying that EVERYTHING I do is ... "doing it the wrong way" ? - - just because you are WHITE & Right handed ... does not mean everyhtning you do is "the correct way."
dude chill, not all white people are racist, and being black does not make you a slave
Nah bro did you just compared racism with him using his other hand He is also left handed but he learn guitar with a righty guitar so you just played yourself Edit: But yeah he should have phrased it better but bro comparing a serious thing as such as racism to this?
Yep your average, if you made a LVworld vid about learning how to build a rocket you'd succeed 😂
Me: Laughs in piano*
Learn to write wite your left hand
and yep he turned into jimi hendrix
He need to restring the guitar to be proper Hendrix
Funniest shit i've ever seen
I just started learning guitar
Impressive but can you play bASS
Me: *sees “learn guitar in 9 hours”* Me: Umm ok? Me again: *sees “learn quick” Me says: Wait whaat, learn quick in 9 HOURS, is my life a lie or is the person who made the title, doesn’t understand it. Lol
You are an idiot. 9 hours is really quick
Learning guitar can take years so 9 hours is quick
035-0365-03530 also called smoke on the water
We are Lefty's!.!. Your scissors can suck it world!!!! The struggle is real!!!
You could've ended on the smoke on water and people who never played will totally be fine with it
This only reminds me of Back to the future
Michael Angelo Batio can play left handed
this is really inspiring for me because im a left handed guitarist
i play guitar like this...its easy for me..
Where is Daire Straits?😅
Mike: „I want to inspire people to do this.” Also Mike: „Ah! I suck!” Thanks for the motivation though.
I learn how to play guitar by myself (in the right way) and after i practice The house of the rising sun about 2-3 hours and my fingers like a Tiger (like that stripes) and smells like terminator (my first song what im learing was the Highway to Hell because i want to play Back in Black by AC/DC) Nice job Mike!
im lucky i played righty first then i quickly picked up left hand since im a natural lefty now i can play both hands fluently after that its crazy the first time i played left handed (my natural hand) my right hand was a bit loose but i could play songs cuz i can mirror image it but the more i played it my right hand grip was getting stronger so yeah thanks mike boyd for making me believe i can quickly get use to it
2:03 using upside down
When the fingers *hurt*
Okay, so essentially what he proved was how easy it was for HIM, to play the other way around... but this could still be much more hard for someone with little to no experience... but what are the secrets aside from practice? Because there’s more to learning than mindless repetition
M Y F I N G E R S H U R T
Who else saw their dream guitar in the background in the intro?
“Its Cheap”
Good beginner guitars can be like $200 so yeah.
You already left handed, y tho
“Cheap”
Ha scrub I'm left handed and it doesn't get easier from here
A A A D D G D D G D D G D A A those are the chords of highway to hell
ik
Now play a right handed guitar left handed. Dick Dale will be watching!
New guitarists: My fingers hurt. Me: The tips of my fingers are rock solid. Don't complain.
Why didn’t u play the solo left handed
It would have taken so much more time and effort. The video would've been twice as long.
Guitar? Pff ONLY 🅱️ASS
It’s only cheap if you get a Squier not fender
So? It's still a guitar. Start on a Fender if you have the money, but start on a Squier if you dont
035
You should learn how to slap the bass instead.
you could have just mirrored your camera lol
Imagine learning left handed on a steel string acoustic. (My first guitar was a steel string acoustic with 13 gauge strings, nothing can hurt my fingers anymore.)
I think it’s more impressive that he was able to play the solo with the strings inverted
Very impressive! I'm left handed, so playing guitar right handed is exactly how it felt playing left handed for you. I've always wanted to learn right handed as well, I might try eventually.
Lefty guitar players unite
I tried playing regularly and got pissed off
*cheap*
Yes. It is cheap. Compared to the thousands of >£2000 guitars, Squiers, Epiphone and other lower end guitars are cheap.
My guitar is wrongly strung, I think (I believe it was intended to be left handed but the lowest strong is on the bottom (I don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to be)
He played the guitar solo upside down gg
“I love playing guitar because it’s cheap” yeah... okay....
It is cheap. Compared to the >£2000 guitars, Squiers, Epiphones and other lower end guitars are cheap
Question: which effects where used in the AC/DC part?
Probably just some gain on the amp.
Mike Boyd: “it’s cheap” Me at guitar center buying the cheapest guitar I can find for $1000.
Look for a Squier or Epiphone. They're cheaper instruments with essentially the same parts, but not made in America
I play the bass backwards because I can't twist my wrist.
Bruh that's a squier, not a fender
Squier is a Fender-family company. They're just not made in America like Fenders are.
I know this video is 3 years old right now, but I just started to try and learn guitar a couple days ago and seeing him frustrated at the beginning sounds exactly like me 🤣🤣
Did it still feel weird after you got the hag of cords
Yeah cheap, ha ha ha
@Jamie Nelson for me it is, sry for coming out rude, i was just pissed that i cant buy a guitar, hope i didn't offend anyone with that
They are cheap. Squiers, Epiphones and other lower end instruments are ~£100. Not expensive.
Guitar playing is Cheap... but it is EXTREMELY easy to spend more money than you planned
Bruh
This hurts me to see the guitar the other way around
5:32 I like that shot
"1 month fender stratocaster" "squier"
Squier is a Fender-family company. They're just not made in America like Fenders are.
B r u h
035 035 😂😂
The audacity it takes to play AC/DC on a Strat. 😤 Jk, I love you Mike and this really helps me in learning guitar.
Wait, didn't he learn right-handed and already knew left-handed? Because, if your left hand is the one strumming, that's left-handed. Is it not?
@Kordinary yes, but he knew right handed, not left handed.
@Jamie Nelson That's what I said.
No. Your non dominant hand frets, and dominant hand strums.
That's kind of. racist though because he said I'm going to learn it the wrong way round so it's wrong to be left-handed and I'm left-handed. I also just got a guitar so not making me very happy.
Some racism. On par with Rosa Parks and MLK
Tf is a Joe average?
An average Joe.
Are u irish
Hes Scottish. How dare you sir.
I play it left handed
3:00 i love that jump ahah
2:10 to 2:13 james hetfield has left the chat
learn bass
4.04 wat sonf
AC/DC - Highway To Hell
Mike said: "A Fender stratocaster" What I see: "A Squier stratocaster"
Squier is a Fender-family company. They're just not made in America like Fenders are.
David Manuel 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Not slaggin him but when he said he got pretty good he didn’t exactly wip out a Metallica solo
Yeah pretty good. Not as good as he is right handed.
Plot twist: He was ambidextrous
My friend is right handed but when they first started learning bass, they said playing it right handed was uncomfortable so he got a left handed guitar and that’s the way he plays bass
This inspired me to start, and I’ve been playing for 2 years now, thanks mike !
Guitar is cheap?i wish
Just buy a Squier or Epiphone or other lower end instrument. How hard is it to understand?
Mike: I wanted to show that learning guitar is fun. Also Mike: *AAAAAAAH, I SUCK, THIS HAND SUCKS, FUCK, I SUCK, I'M FRUSTRATED*
Try playing acoustic i had to deal with it lol not hating
Well,.that wasn't much help. "That Hand Sucks" is not in vocabulary.
