    It’s fun and sounds good hammering the pinky onto third fret of the b-string for the C chord as well. Index just staying on the 1st fret like normal for a C-chord. If you want to give that pinky some extra work.

    Left handed might be an option. I mean both hands are doing some pretty complex stuff, so the extra dexterity in your fretting hand if you started fretting with your right wouldn’t be a bad thing. It will just feel weird at first because you’ve probably unconsciously always done air guitar in a right-handed manner. If you were going to switch, then now would be the time to do it instead of having to re-learn everything later. I play guitar left-handed. I am left-handed, but I think I could have went right just as easily, but I wanted to be like Jimi. Many shops will recommend lefties to play right handed because it’s so much easier to find guitars, or pick up other people’s guitars, but I don’t think the actual playing is much of a hindrance in and of itself. I think I would rather be missing a pinky on my strumming hand than on my fretting hand. There are some guitar shops that specialize in left-handed guitars if you’re looking to try a bunch out at some point in the future (Southpaw Guitars in Houston), but you can order them pretty easily online now as well.

    I like it. Did you figure it all out on your own or was there a video you followed? It seems like a fun version to try.

    I use the Dunlop Max Grip picks. Like a bit of sandpaper built in.
