I'm a lefty - who plays right-handed - this is only because when i first started to play, at my very first lesson i asked my guitar teacher to restring it take too long - but i'm kinda glad i play right handed because there is a better choice of guitars (and they're cheaper) and it looks more natural - I just hope its not holding me back on my skill

Wow, never knew there were so many folks like me on here
I write and throw stuff with my left, play guitar and catch stuff with my right, and I'm ambidextrous in almost everything else

BTW Any of you guys know any right handed people who play left handed?


Some of the left handed guitar players who play right handed guitars are - Paul Simon, Vinnie Moore, Michael Angelo Batio ... !

I'm glad I play righty as a left-hander because the 'lefty wall' at my Guitar Center is actually a stand on the ground and is two, count them, two guitars strong.

Yay for confused lefties! I'm one too. I play guitar right handed, use cutlery right handed (except for spoons) and am pretty ambidextrous when it comes to sports. But I can only use my left hand to write anything that I want to read later.

been a 100% lefty since birth (cept when i brush my teeth in the morning, cuz i need my left hand to itch my balls). when my dad got me a guitar win i was 13 i figured that ur dominate hand would be the one that would be moving really fast on the fretboard. I thought i was actually playing lefthanded for about a month. i almost did switch after i broke my left arm, but i didnt :). now im here.

I'm just weird... I play soccer and hockey righty, every other sport or activity lefty... except for guitar.
The reason: it's so damn hard and expensive to find lefty guitars that I got fed up and decided: "Fuck it, I'll play righty!"
And it really doesn't matter to me... although my picking speed isn't the best........

I am so surprised at how many people do this. First of all, like people say, it's not unusual to start learning on a right handed guitar. If you start that way, it's HARD to switch. Second, for some people, it seems easier to fret with your dominant hand. And the best part is, if you play right handed, you can play other people's guitars and not have to only use yours because you're left handed :D .

ohhh i'm really curious... if you are already left handed, why do you play guitar right handed ??
i'm asking this because, i'm right handed, and once i tried to switch the guitat to the other way around, to see if i could play left handed, and it felt WEIRD, i felt like my head can't even think of what it takes to pluck a single NOTE.


because you have to be lucky to have a left handed guitar when you start to play.. I learned it on my father's guitar
it's just a matter of habit :D
