I'm trying to learn how to play left handed on my right-handed guitar. xd That way I can do the whole Jimi-Hendrix Flip.

Well, I don`t really show off. I do like to be noticed and not cast in the shadow by the lead but I don`t care if he`s doing a 20 minutes solo...cause I know I can do just as good.

i two hand tap even when not showing off. just because its fun. Midnight by Joe Satriani is a good song for it. i really wanna find some time to figure out the intro to Building the Church by Steve Vai. i can play behind my head too, but i'm completely jealous of Paul Gilbert's skillz. he can sweep pick with his teeth. it mad scary. usually if you can alternate pick somthing fast, people who dont play think its cool. its kinda sad how tapping get so much more of a reaction that sweeping though. cause sweeping is limitlessly harder most of the time. and if all else fails, bring out the pyro.

Would it not make more sence just to buy a left handed strat and re-string it... The man was left handed after all... Just a thought. :^)

At solsthiem:
I know what you mean. I show my friends (who don't play) amazing guitar videos of super fast sweeping and then it flicks to tapping and they're like "OMGZ HEZ GOT EZ OTHER AND ON DA RONG SIDE!!!11!!1!" stare
Yes 'coz thats what I was trying to show you...
I love Satch's two hand tapping though. I can play midnight all the way through, I love that song. You know Bamboo? I know the intro tap bit to that too. Another really cool song. But saying that I personally think song's like "Tears in the rain" is just as good and/or hard to play as midnight. And there's no tapping in it.

As for the whole behind your head thing I just think it's cliché. I mean if I go to a gig and see someone playing behind their head I'l just be thinking "Showoff..." I'd much prefur people to show off by going crazy on stage like fallout boy (probs a bad example but they do jump about like hell blaugh ) than doing something that they practised to do like playing behind their head. When hendrix played with his teeth or played behind his head/behind his back it was cool 'coz it was all improvised and new and he was just f in about on stage. But now if someone does it it's purely for looking cool and just looks stupid. I'l shut up now... sweatdrop

I actually would like to find a cheap lefty strat knockoff of some type to do the hendrix flip with. It's a hard thing to find, however.

i just watched a vid a few days ago a spent a few minutes figuring out Toccata & Fugue by Bach. its a cool tapping like with reall heavy pedaltones, and people think its really cool cause its kinda fast and its an alternate song in Tetris. lol. the craziest thing in my oppinion is 4 finger tapping. that and sweeping like in the song Altitudes by Jason Becker.
