Good luck with that lefty guitar, I'm sure it will be a lot more natural for you. I know that as a righty I would give up pretty quickly if I had to learn to play left-handed but everyone seems to think lefties should just learn it right-handed because... well, because! [br][br]

Actually Dave, I'm a lefty myself who's playing righty. It started back in my twenties when I originally was learning guitar. My instructor suggested I do it. This was back in the eighties when maybe left handed guitars were not that plentifully or maybe the instructor thought it would be too hard for him to teach me to fret chords while looking at everything in reverse. Anyway As for comfort it really wasn't too hard a transition as one would think, but I still suck no matter what hand I use.😅

p.s. I also played a lot of street hockey as a kid and even golf right handed so maybe that had an effect.
