Judging from the accents in each note, I'd guess this is fingerpicking? If so I'm definitely impressed; being left-handed when playing has a few drawbacks...like that my right hand is only good for picking motions and dorking around. (guess I'm just lacking the dexterity) I like it though, keep it up!
The backing is all fingerpicking, but a lot of the lead was done with a pick. I tend to alternate within lead depending on what I'm trying to do, with picks generally being good for runs and fingers to get a bit more expression. Thanks for listening! Does being left-handed still have drawbacks even if you're using a left-handed guitar? I'm right-handed and I know the couple of times I've held a left-handed guitar I've been completely lost, so I can definitely sympathise if you're using a right-handed one.
Oh I didn't mean for that to sound like I PLAY left-handed; on the contrary, I play like any right-handed player would. My reasoning for learning this way was because of the selection I had with "standard" guitars as opposed to their "lefty" counterparts, and being left-hand dominant gives me a little more freedom across the fretboard (although I still have problems doing intricate six string chord patterns on the fly...and sweeps x.x) I used to be in a band with a guy that played lefty though, and picking it up felt like learning guitar all over again. Learning lefty after spending a majority of your time playing regularly is INCREDIBLY difficult, unless you're ambidextrous or naturally talented (in my opinion, YMMV.) To answer the question directly, though: playing left-handed means picking with the left hand, and my right hand does NOT have dexterity to play the genre I enjoy after all these years (metal), so picking up a lefty guitar is a definite drawback.
