i'm a natural lefty.
but i learnt to play right handed, easier to fret the guitar.
then slowly just worked on the right hand picking techniques.

It can be done, I am right handed but when I first held a guitar in my hands, I was holding it the left handed way and it felt natural back then. Took me a while to adjust to the proper way of playing.

I also know a friend who is left handed but play right handed.

I guess it is just a matter of practice.

It's always recommended for lefties to try out right-hand guitars in the right-handed way. It takes time to get used to, I guess, but it's possible.

However, if your left hand is really not comfortable in gripping the neck & fretting the chords, stick to left-handed guitars. smile.gif

Stick to left handed guitar and be doomed with the limited selection of guitars and also the extra price you have to pay.

u're from kuching too? smile.gif

well you could always ask lee's music.

you could try ordering in from les paul (mr kho) too but i doubt theyll bring in lower end ones. their prices for ordering in can sometimes be cheaper than kl and quite close to singapore. i wouldnt recommend the ones in the shop coz theyre in bad shape.

How bout right handed playing left handed instruments? i nearly did that when i saw an awesome left handed ibanez s540 in a pwn shop for a fraction of its value . nearly took it home start to learn playing it left handed , or do it the right handed hendrix style.

It's quite hard to find shops selling left-handed guitars. Well, you can always ask them to order one for you but you can't go there and then and try out the guitar. You have to wait till the shops gets the guitar first. But when you order that guitar, you have to buy it already ... normally they will ask you for a desposit fee first before ordering that guitar.

I have a friend who is a left-handed guitar player. He ordered a left-handed American Stratocaster® guitar. But before he got the chance to play the guitar, he was playing with a right-handed guitar. So now, he can play both left and right hand guitars.

Besides, its very rare to see a left-handed guitarist ...... so that makes you (left-hand guitarist) special thumbup.gif
