Rick,I am a natural lefty, but I taught myself to play guitar right handed for that very reason. OK maybe that's not the reason, but you know there is a natural superiority of southpaws in that they generally have much better command of the opposite hand than those of the dextral persuasion. I once heard one of the latter prolcaim that he would give his right arm to be ambidextrous.
have you tried a narrow flat pick and super glue ;)
