As another "lefty" who plays right handed, I agree. I don't know that it would have been any easier to learn to play left handed. I also learned to crochet "righty" because no one could teach me lefty; then I transposed it myself. After all that work, I found it easier to do it righty - the way I learned it originally - after all. I realize the guitar is quite a bit more complicated than a crochet hook, but.... learning is learning. And now, I can play anyone's guitar - and even better, anyone can play mine. Anyone but a left handed player, that is.

Although I knew a guy once who, instead of re-stringing his guitar into a left-handed one, just learned all the chords "upside down". In other words, he played a regular-strung guitar, left-handed, so the lower strings were at the "bottom" intead of the "top", looking down at it. So he could still play anyone's guitar - but nobody could follow along with him; You'd get "dizzy" watching!
