Good lord..don't even mention guitars to me..lol
Even thou the phrygian domiant and the spanish gypsy has the same intervals..one of them is a scale and the other is a mode.
And being left hand...I play the darn thing right handed of course.

The problems I had making a transition from a controller to TX was..I used to flick the sticks.
So I was trained to never take my fingers off of the sticks. Excluding trimming of course.

The other problem I have with a TX is....body english..lol
On evasive manuver, I tend to bring the TX up to my chese..as if I'm making out with it.lol

I had to do the piching thing when making a transition to a heil. Very, very uncomforatable for me.
The only way for me to achive that is to use a TX tray..becuase I move the TX around too much
