So What is LeftyFretz.com all About?
LeftyFretz is a website aimed solely at left handed guitar players, no righties allowed! Well okay, but only if you play nice!
It can sometimes be tricky being a left handed musician living in a right handed world, and we all know the frustration of drooling over gear reviews on other sites knowing that drooling is as far as we will ever get.
This is where LeftyFretz steps in! Everything you read on this website will apply to YOU as a lefty musician. Any guitars I talk about will be available left handed, any media I review will be applicable to lefties, any artists I interview will be southpaws…you get the picture!
It’s an unfortunate fact that many musicians feel that playing left handed puts you at a distinct disadvantage. LeftyFretz is here to show you that this is simply not the case anymore – if anything being a southpaw guitarist just makes things even more exciting and diverse – embrace your lefty roots and stand out from the crowd!
Who Actually Runs This Site?
My name is Neal, and you’ll get no prizes for guessing that, like you, I’m a left handed guitarist. I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years now, so I like to think that I know my stuff!
Although LeftyFretz does sometimes feel like a full-time job, I do actually take part in gainful employment. For the past decade I have been working for a large guitar retailer as part of their marketing team. Working there is an ideal fit for this site as I have easy access to all of the best gear, plus I often get to see the latest releases way before most other people!
