Hi there,

I have a right handed 17 year old son who is quite musical and taught himself how to play the bass last year. He wants to learn how to play the guitar, but he badly injured his middle finger years ago on his left hand and is physically unable to bend it at the top knuckle, so he can't play a right handed guitar properly.

We rented him a left-hand guitar to try, but I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on whether it would be easier to teach himself how to play left-handed on a left handed guitar or would it be easier to use a right handed guitar flipped upside down like Hendrix? I have no clue so I thought I would ask the experts.

So far he's finding the left handed one quite challenging.

Thanks!
