The
longer you have been playing guitar yourself, the more apt you
are to forget just how weird the guitar feels to your brand
new beginner guitar student when they first pick it up.
It is because of this that relatively inexperienced tutors
actually make better tutors for beginners.
I have a simple remedy for you if you find it difficult to
remember the early days of your guitar playing:
Assuming you are right-handed, simply pick up the guitar
the wrong way round, as if you were left-handed.
Now try to play a few chords, scales, riffs etc.
It's pretty disorientating isn't it?
But this gives you a pretty good idea of how your students
feel during their first few lessons.
