Well,
I am left handed, probably because I broke my right arm when I was about 7 years old. When I bought a guitar I decided I would learn to play right handed. Whatever feels comfortable to you is right. I once saw someone picking a guitar left handed. It sure looked strange. Do they have books for the left handed player?</font>


Ray,

Your case is different only in that you were born in your left brain (right handed)so your natural tendancies would make you more comfortable righty style.

The books aren't any different other than they would look backwards or upside down to a right handed player. I've found that looking at a chord chart set for right handed players is easier for me to read, only because that's all I've ever found.

I've gotten my fair hare of weird looks. I've had several people say they didn't notice until I happen to mention it orwhen I'm playing in a group.

Something my 11 year old son pointed out is that when I give him his lessons he thinks it's easier because it's like looking in a mirror for him.
