Hey Brian
Thanks for resurecting this ole post it's got some great stories and information. I too am a lefty in that I write left handed. However I throw a baseball with my right and I opne doors mostly with my right. When I first started playing I too turned the guitar upside down to play left handed. It worked pretty good as far as ryhthm went but my holding of the chords with my right hand was tough. I eventually decided I would try to learn to play right handed. It didn't feel natural at first I wasn't sure it was right for me I was tempted several times to just restring my acoustic or buy a left handed guitar. I am so glad I didn't because I really feel more comfortable now playing right handed. I've even tried to go back to playing left handed and it feels so alien I just can't do it. Not knocking those who have learned and done well left handed but it wasn't for me. I also enjoy the fact that most anywhere I go I can play the guitars they have. Not all stores carry left handers. Derek
