Hi Andrewfloreano,

I understand the dilemma! I'm not lefty but I know a lot of left-handed players that are close friends and they've said the same thing. With that being said, I had a friend learn with a right-handed guitar and it is a little strange, he said, but after some practice he got it.

Learning with a right handed guitar, as a lefty, when you're a beginner is probably the easiest way to do this, since learning guitar in general is all new to your hands anyway.

I say give it a try and see how you like it. Otherwise, there's no reason for you to ignore playing left-handed guitars. There aren't as many on the market, but you'll be able to find the same selection, more or less.

I say, if you can't get the hang of a right-handed guitar, grab a lefty!
