Welcome aboard, @jlkistner, and thank you for your interesting introduction and your enthusiasm.

If you scroll down to the bottom of the « member page » or under „courses“ you can find the lessons, and get the lessons files and soundslice versions.

You can of course also search for lessons on Robert’s Youtube channel and afterwards you can enter the title or lesson number in the « search bar » on the website. With a few exceptions, you can find almost all of Robert’s Youtube lessons on the website (including lesson files and soundslice).

Important for you: Robert has lessons where you can click on „flip“ in the lower left corner of his videos and switch to the left-handed fretboard version like the following video (watch it on the website):

This is not possible for all lessons. But the Soundslice versions of the lessons have the option «Flip video» in the upper right corner. Click on the little picture with the strumming hand and you will see the options:

Move video to the left – flip video – show/hide notation.

I think, this would be a great help for you.

Regarding the Youtube videos I’ve read about a Youtube Video Flipper as a Chrome extension adding a button to YouTube videos to flip them horizontally. I don’t know if it works but you might try it once.

By the way, I’m also left-handed but have a right-handed guitar. End of  2019, I’ve never held a guitar in my hand before, I jumped right in without thinking too much about it and luckily it works fine for me.

Enjoy learning and playing,

Birgit

@bluesiline Wow, you really summed up some great insights for a new Member- nice advice on the lefty fretboard view.

@jlkistner, welcome to the MGA!  Now whereabouts in Colorado do you/have you lived?  That’s a wonderful playground for music and adventure.  Last August we visited friends in Denver and then road tripped to Crested Butte, Salinas, Minatau Springs and Boulder.  Nice Rocky Mountain High.

Be sure to keep a hand on the Forum to listen and share.

@clayton, lefties just have to stick together 😉. 

@bluesiline I had no idea you were picking up playing a right handed guitar with being a lefty.  Really impressive!  Boy do I remember picking up bass and thinking how I was going to get my left (non-dominant) hand to do all that fretting on those cables we bass players call strings.  

@bluesiline Thanks so much for all the great tips!!

@clayton Thanks for the warm welcome! I've lived in the Aspen area for almost 45 years.

@jlkistner holy Spider Savage, you're slumming it!  Awesome environs.

What's yer pleasure: Hike, ski, bike, fish, snowshoe...?

Hi, and welcome! I hope you can find the videos you're looking for. I started doing youtube long before I had MGA so not everything on youtube is on MGA. I have been doing "YL-XX" lessons on youtube for some time, as a way to keep track of lessons with a label. I started adding them to the free lessons page, but I think I should probably just create a "YouTube Lessons" course here, and add them all there. What do you guys think? It's a bit messy to find them now, I admit. 

@clayton Hahaha! It's funny you remember the Spider (Sabich) connection. I've done everything you've mentioned. I now mostly hike, bike, and ski. I agree, pretty awesome area, though town is completely different then when I arrived in the mid 70's. Where are you?

@robert Thanks for your reply! You have plenty of great content that will keep me busy for years to come. Love your style of playing and the way you present and teach your lessons. All the best to you!

@jlkistner Baltimore, Maryland.  But I love to get out west, and east across the pond when there's no pandemic!
