Well, thankfully my new hubby knew more about guitars than I did. He just bought me my very first guitar, a 3/4 left handed martin. I am in LOVE! So, now starts that adventure that had been delayed and I am so excited. Anyone have any tips for us lefties? I know NOTHING, so anything would be most welcomed.

Do you love the hubby or the guitar more? Both? Actually, sounds like he's a pretty good guy to hook you up like that.

Have fun playing. The only issue you may have is how to see chords in charts etc. Gotta be able to think backwards. Probably not differently than any number of things you've had to do in the 'right-hand' orienting world.

Glad you caught the bug. It's something that sticks with you even during times where you don't play as much, you eventually find your way back.
