One thing to remind yourself of while you struggle playing left handed is that those of us who are starting out with a full complement of fingers and playing our natural righty side struggle tremendously at first too. Read all of the threads where folks ask how the hell are we supposed to make our fingers stretch that way; why am I always picking the wrong string; why do I accidentally mute the e string; etc. I am not going to try to play leftie, but I am not sure it would be much harder to start out that way. Left or right, you will be training both hands and your brain to do things that will feel pretty unnatural at first.

Good luck![br][br]
