It's really a pain in the ass to try to read tabs if you're left handed, I find. If anyone knows a good site, or is good at reading tabs and can help me, I would appreciate it.

    i feel your pain but i never saw anything different so i never had trouble reading them.

    i've only ever seen left-handed chord charts.

    I'm new to the guitar, so I'm trying to teach myself, but i do not understand some of the slide downs and ups and how to keep time. Thanks

    I didnt think being left handed mattered when reading tab...it's only numbers on lines and the orientation of the strings are the same so where the problem...

    I would think it would be pretty intuitive...

    Lefties aren't backwards or upside-down, they're mirrored... the low-E is still the closest to you, and the high-E is still furthest away. Having leftie chord charts makes sense, but tab is probably just as easy (or hard) for a leftie as a rightie.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.
