Takes way too damn long to get to the whammy bar and back, making it impossible to beat any high scores.

I would kill for a lefty controller, KILL!

I'm left-handed myself as well, but I've always played guitar right-handed. And actually, in GH you're doing most of the work with the left hand even when played 'right-handed'. The right hand just has to 'strum' a single 'string'. Have you tried just switching to use your RH?

It's taken me months to be where I'm at, so I'm not even going to try to switch.

Then you seriously fail at Guitar Hero.

I'm left handed and get to the whammy easily. Excuse the crap ASCI as I don't have a camera to hand.

You need to have the whammy bar angled like this (if you look down on the guitar.

\

The bottom of the clash is the top of the whammy bar (bit not joined to the guitar. You need to angle it so the bar semi covers the strum bar. As you strum you can use you little finger to whammy.

It has been proved the gentle whammying gives same points as heavy whammying so you don't loose anything.

I know its a crap description. Will try to get bluetooth working again on my PC tonight and take some pics.

When the whammy covers the strum bar, it just gets in the way when I'm playing and occupies my mind as it annoys me.

And I don't fail at GH.
