I've never seen one. You could hold the page up to the light and look through from the other side. :mrgreen:

Yes, I've heard of them, but I have not had the pleasure of listening to them. I'll put that on my bucket list!

Sarah almost said what I had in mind. Also, holding the righties up against a mirror might help or scanning them and reversing the image through your "Paint" (Microsoft) application on your computer after you've pasted the pix on your hard disc :?

I know there's books for lefties out there, I never bothered with buying any. I learned everything fron righty charts and by watching other guitarists.
