I have always wanted to play guitar, and now that i am an adult with adult money i am finally going to learn. I am a lefty, and i do just about everything lefty and always have. archery is about the only thing i know i do righty and that is because the gear i had access to as a kid was right-handed.

I have access to a right-handed guitar, but not to a left-handed guitar to compare.

Curious what other sinister guitarists think before i shell out cash for a lefty.

    I’m righthanded and I struggled to learn the fingering of a righthanded guitar. Lefthanded seemed more natural to me, but then I wouldn’t be able to just borrow a guitar from anyone. I really wonder why anyone thought it was a good idea to do the strumming with the dominant hand. In more difficult pieces, both hands get their share, like on piano. In easier pieces, the dominant hand has it much easier and the other hand does all the hard work.
