Welcome to Axsinister! The name reflects my journey as a left-handed guitarist: "Ax" for guitar, and "sinister" from the Latin for "left." I'm picking up the guitar later in life, embracing the challenges and joys that come with learning something new. As a lefty, I’ve noticed that finding truly inspiring guitars can be tough—most are made for right-handed players. Thankfully, left-handed guitars
do exist, even if the options are limited. My curiosity doesn’t stop at guitars. I’m also fascinated by violins, though I’ve found the world of string instruments to be even less accommodating to left-handed musicians. It’s surprising how resistant some traditions can be to change. This page is about celebrating the left-handed perspective in music, sharing my progress, and connecting with others who appreciate the unique path we walk—no matter which hand leads the way.
