I'm just about to start playing ukulele. And I'm left handed! The mirroring is so cool. Thank you so much! God Bless! 😘🙏

I'm a righty but when I first got my uke, I automatically held it left handed and I don't know why but now I'm so used to it that I can't switch to right handed. Is that weird?

[lmarieh]

I'm not even left handed but playing the ukulele with my right hand is a form a torture for me. It just doesn't work

Its been two days that I bought my ukelele and started playing non-stop and always wondered why it sounds so different or the tune is out of place and then only today that I realised that the person who gave me the ukelele actually gave me a LEFT-HANDED ukelele.Im not mad that he gave me a left-handed uke since im also a lefty its just that Im mad for him because he didnt told me and Im mad at myself for not realizing soon enough. Thank you very much because I just thought that my uke was broken but I also need to restart again😂. This video was very helpful! Again, thank you

THANK YOU YOU are the first person to explain that the strings are strung with the G on bottom. I have had several people including a Youtube person say put the A at the bottom(lap side). That did not make any sense to me so, I would not put my strings that way. I just bought my Ukulele a couple of days ago and even the store I bought it from and had them restring it put the A on the bottom. Again, THANK YOU so much

To make a right handed ukulele a left handed ukulele you restring it using the same strings that it came with. G C E A from top down . Switch the G for the A and the C for the E, one string at a time.

This is going to be such a huge challenge. I am hopelessly left-handed, but am playing with a third and fourth finger on the right hand that were broken at the base two years ago, making them very stiff indeed. And then having to flip the chord charts is doing my head in 😂😂😂😂. Damn I wish I was right-handed for the first time in my life!!

[ileenhaiza]

Thank you for your helps!!! It's make me easy to play Ukulele now!😄

[CandaceTravismusic]

That will make it so much easier to teach.

[dailodai]

i have a question. i am born left handed but growing up taught to write right hand. but i still do everything left hand and its my dominant hand. so which ukulele should i get. thank you

[tamalabothell]

I'm left handed thank you just got my ukulele

[peggytu]

Please upload some more lessons in left handed ukulele. Your video is helpful, I'm a beginner playing ukulele. and I have a question about the hand orientation of the ukulele. is it necessary to buy a left handed one or change the string order? Can I just simply flip the ukulele to the opposite position while playing. But I read some article saying that you’ll have no side dots on the fretboard to help guide you by just flipping the righty.

Thanks so much for this video it’s very helpful

[kenselayre]

Thank you for a great video!  Found your link on Bernadette Teaches Music :)  Your video is so helpful - thought I had to buy my son a "lefty" ukulele!  Thank you!!

[joecrone]

Yep. If you book get a right handed uke you simply reverse the order so that when you play it lefthanded the strings are still g, c, e, a from the top down

[fayalobaid]

I have a question



So I’m a lefty but I strum with my left hand. So am I a normal ukulele player or a lefty?
