Daddy Blues:-

I play blues and jazz on guitar and while in a pro band touring was in an accident damaging the fingertips on two of my left hand. I had an incentive to get playing and as I lost the feeling in the fingertips chaged to a left handed guitar. (A WEM Circuit 4) anyone remember those?

It was hard learning again but found that my right hand was stronger for chording so I would let your little girl go whichever way suits her. I often find myself doing things ambidextrously these days 30 years on I still play passably well. As for choice of Guitars there was never a problem for me (leftys in London) and there are many more specailists than you might think though you probably will have to travel to try a seriously good guitar.

Good luck,
D
