Recommendation
Can anybody recommend a good online guitar teacher. I am 61 left handed and have only been trying to play for a year. I have come to realize I can't teach myself. Thank you in advance

I can not, but I think you'll find that being lefty is an advantage. One of the first guys who taught me was a lefty (I'm a righty) and I could directly mirror him.
Good luck! |

Take private lessons. It will be a much more personalized approach with good feedback.

Surprised no one has recommended https://www.justinguitar.com/
I finished his beginner and almost all of his intermediate courses. Fact, 6 years later I see one of his books on my coffee table now. |

I found a guitar teacher, and the very first thing he said was I needed to learn to play right handed, it would help me in the future he said. I'm 61, my future is now, so he didn't work out. I tried Justin guitar an love it. I started at the beginning, learned a couple things I was doing wrong and plan on continuing. I began learning with a rogue 624 left hand dreadnought, it is a total piece of crap and hampered my attempts to play. I now have a woodsong guitar I purchased online from Adirondack guitars. It's a great little guitar sounds good to me, easy to play and came set up beautifully. Does anybody else have experience with a woodsong? When you can't play guitar it's difficult to walk into a music store and pick up a left hand guitar and know if it's any good. Maybe this guitar is only marginally better. How would I know? Any thoughts?

Andyguitar is also a good beginner online teacher, imo, better for some things, especially rhythm. I like Justin a lot, but just don't care for the way he has students practice chord changes they won't use and not crazy about some of his fingering. He's great for songs, though, and so likeable and easy to follow. I taught myself online from knowing NOTHING to being able to understand theory and play happily in about a year and half, so feel free to PM questions and such if you like.
