You didn't. You weren't aware of it when you learnt to play righty, but you went through all the hell you're going through right now as a lefty and learned how to do it comfortably over many hundreds of hours of practice.

Keep at it, with a smile on your face, and you'll get there and be better for it.

I really want to object...but you're probably right. It's probably just more annoying because it's more noticeable.

Rock Band 3 EGuitar FCs:
Don't Stand So Close To Me (#1)

Goal Progress: +1 to 8/15

I actually thought I'd typo'd on Easy, but on double-checking I went extra on Smash Hits this week and clocked in over 2 million points from WoR, SH and Metallica. So, Easy's the surprising 3rd one to fall below the top 1000. That was...surprising to find.

So...I guess I'll be playing on Medium and Hard for the rest of this. I don't know for sure now if Medium will last me till 20, but I hope it will. Hard will need more investment, though, I think.

Picked up an FC, oddly enough. I don't think I have more than 20.

Can't think of much else this update. I do think I may have to stop at 20 in the end since GH3 and All are going to have way too many ranks to catch up on for both top 1000 and top 500 goals (and as I've mentioned before, GH3's top 500 is too high up for just E/M/H, even with DLC and if I FC'd with no-Squeeze paths). I feel like if I can get GH3 down to, like, the 10000's or so, that would good enough.

Nice progress so far my friend! I do have a question, do you plan to do GH1/2/80's as well at any point during this project or just the PS3 games? I didn't see it in the OP, so I'm assuming you aren't... and it's been a bit since I've played GH1, so I don't even remember if it has lefty flip lol.

Best of luck with everything, already past the halfway mark for a goal, and it's just January!

I feel pretty sure GH1 has lefty flip. The problem is that I don't have a CRTV to play the games on. Sure, I can just playing on my HD one, but i really do not want to deal with the lag that'll come with it. They'll likely be added both once I get a CRTV that isn't a huge-ass waste of space and probably after all these others are at the top 500 to not mess anything up.

And yeah, the leaps to 1K shouldn't take too long. It's from 100K to 500 that I think will be the long haul.

Not really as exciting an update as before, though I did pass 10mil Medium points.

But, in an interesting plus, I'm most definitely going to get a double shot this week, with both PS3 and WoR. If I'm especially lucky I might get a triple whammy, even!

Hard is still, well, Hard. But I'm getting a bit more frustrated at what feels like lag or something that doesn't register my strums even though I feel like I'm hitting them on time or a bit early. Maybe I'm just hitting them far too early. That's possible. I'm also getting annoyed with HO/POs because it feels like I'm hitting them on time yet the game seems to register them as happening too late or something like that. I can't get a good read on where they're landing so I just don't know where I'm going wrong and how to fix it.

The more annoying aspect of all this is that my damn whammy bar won't stay upright! Very distracting when I'm trying to play and the thing slides down and gets in the way of strumming.

Well, poo. I thought I'd get both RB3 and WoR, but PS3 came through to get me to 10 of 15!

As things stand right now, I'm gonna run out on Medium pretty damn soon, unfortunately. I don't exactly feel comfortable playing Hard on Guitar or Bass right now, but I'm going to have to in the end, though that's going to be giving me very low scores for the songs (and...potential 3-note chords...*shudders*). I'm going through 3, A and WT on Medium right now, and I will at least finish GH3 and Aerosmith on Medium, but I might have to switch things up on WT, or just do DLC/songs I do have unlocked. Metallica I'm especially worried about due to the guitar charts still being on the upper level of difficulty on Hard, and Smash Hits is just a ball of just too high for my tastes. I've been doing the three main games on Drums, so that'll likely stay the same, but I'm slightly worried I'll run out of room on the two middle games (M and SH) or Bass will be done by then. It's gonna get dicey, or I'll just have to magically get gud with my pinky.

RB3 isn't that bad since it has more breadth to it as far as picking easy HBass songs (and grinding my teeth on the harder ones). The lack of open bass notes is also very helpful as well. Speaking of, it should definitely fall next, unless the 65-rank gap between here and 1000 is more than about 450K points. I hope it isn't.

Still, only have 5 more to go for 15. Bass, Medium, GH5, RB3 and SH are the likely upcoming candidates, and my thoughts of getting this done by the end of February still look to be in view.

Just to confirm though: GH3, All and Guitar are not going to be figured into the next leg of this goal, though I will continue to track their progress. Even though the All category is falling pretty darn fast, it's still not likely that it'll even get close to 1000 before I get the other 20 there. GH3 and Guitar are even less likely. I do have some hopeful ranks for each of them by the end of this part, but I probably won't try to seriously go for the top 1000 in any of those three for awhile.

Wow dude, this is great stuff !! How good you were playing normally before going left-handed ? Because this is stuff I would like also to try after I'm done right-handed.

And good luck with those 3-note chords, those sure are bastards for your palms mate

My main account is Voidedalive2x. That has everything I've done right-handed (which is the way I normally play), across all 5 instruments and GH/RB.

And I"m less concerned about my palms and more about how my right hand will actually fret those correctly. I have enough trouble trying to do RB chords as it is.

It's a pain in the ass sometimes, that's for sure. But I'm still fascinated by the "new" learning curve. I can't tell you if I'd prefer to have started this years earlier or not, though.

Goal Progress: +1 to 11/15

Guitar Hero Aerosmith MFCs:
Cat Scratch Fever (1/41)

I almost confused myself because my previous update to Aerosmith sid I went to 2046th, but this update on the wiki only had me at 2889th (2090th, really, but if you aren't within the set amount of listed rankings, excluding the highest number, it drops you one rank for some reason; if you want to be properly listed in, say, the top 10, you have to be 1st-9th at the very least, though I think being 10th might be fine. 11th just puts you down to 10th if you aren't tied in points). I realized I typo'd and that the previous update took me to 3046th, not 2046th, so crisis averted.

Speaking of rankings, RB3 is my 11th rank in the top 1000! Thankfully my hope that the last 66 ranks needed less than 500K was a good one, though it's going to be considerably harder to get to the top 500, I think. It's only about...11mil or so, but with RB points that's a long way away.

Both Bass and Medium are going to fall this update. Actually, I'm probably gonna have to step it up for a couple of other ones because I do want to get to top 15 by March like I originally thought I would. Granted, it's not a really big deal if I don't, but I'm just persnickety like that. GH5 and SH are the prime targets for this.

So, the gameplan for the week should be to get Medium done via GH3 and GHA, HBass with Metallica and SH (and probably with some HGuitar thrown in for SH itself), and then Drums for WT and 5. I probably won't get SH and 5 by the end of this week since SH needs about 6mil and 5 needs 5mil, but I will try to invest more into these two games than the others.

On a slight tangent, I wonder if something's up with the way I hold the guitar because my thumb feels like it hurts to bend it certain ways now. It's just in the thumb and nowhere else so I'm fairly sure it's not carpal tunnel or anything, but it's annoying that I can't bend it every way I usually can without it hurting.

The fact that you're progressing this much playing a way you're not used to, is incredible my friend! Keep up the great work !

The way I am on Hard right now seems to feel the same as I was 10 years ago playing Expert as a righty. I can do it, for sure, and I'm able to get 5*'s relatively consistently, but I still have trouble getting my fingers into the right position, fretting anything that isn't evenly spaced or a very obvious ascending or descending line of notes feels clunky (not even including the obvious discrepancy of lag that I'm pretty sure is throwing off fretting and strumming), and I sometimes can't even strum single-note streaks without confusing myself on if my hand will end on an up-strum or a down-strum.

I know that what I can do as a righty shouldn't and wouldn't translate immediately and efficiently to playing as a lefty, but I guess I just hoped it'd be a little easier than this. But, considering I was honestly very worried I'd completely fail to do any but the easiest Hard songs on Guitar/Bass back at the start of the year, the fact that I'm doing this well is a good sign. Expert is still well off the table, I think. I'm not ready for that on anything.

Rank-ups:
All: +2662 to 5840th
PS3: +200 to 518th
Hard: +2291 to 1774th
Medium: +236 to 886 (Top 1000!)
Guitar: +3757 to 16946th
Bass: +269 to 780th (Top 1000!)
Drums: +651 to 1717th
Guitar Hero 3: +711 to 18066th
Aerosmith: +335 to 2556th
World Tour: +374 to 3751st
Metallica: +157 to 1994th
Smash Hits: +489 to 1002nd (Really?)
Guitar Hero 5: +207 to 1000th (Top 1000!)

Goal Progress: +4 to 15/15 (Goal complete!)

Guitar Hero Aerosmith MFCs:
#2 - All Day and All of the Night

Completed difficulties:
Guitar Hero Smash Hits HBass
Guitar Hero Aerosmith Medium

Okay, yes, it's not technically completely, but I'm 2 fucking ranks from 1000 on Smash Hits. I'm not going to be so pedantic about it that I'll waste this upcoming week on that. I will at least drop it down to under 1000 today (and likely do the same for GH5), but as of today the goal is complete, and it's time to switch over to 2x for awhile.

One thing I've noticed is that I feel an...I guess an oscilliating sense of desire for either side. Leading up to 2018 I was feeling kinda eager to jump into lefty because I was getting a little worn out from pushing so hard for the top 10 rankings. Recently, though, I noticed I was gaining a growing desire to come back to 2x instead, though not because I was worn out. I guess I was feeling a desire just to come back, or something. It's not a bad thing until I start feeling extreme weariness pulling me to one account or the other, but I thought it something to point out.

I finished inputting scores for two different games this week, too. I could have stopped with SH since I was only halfway there at the start of the week, but I was also looking for points and though I could get most of the way there. I very nearly did get it with just the rest of HBass, but not all the way. As for GHAM, I pretty much only had the Vault plus the two songs I couldn't get scores inputted for, so it really wasn't too much hassle to go through, like, 7 songs.

So yeah. I'll play a little bit longer on SH and 5, and then I'm back to righty mode again. Don't expect a reply today unless you get one in fast enough.
