I'm a left-hander and I play acoustic, I know how to play all kinds of songs and I also do not use a pick. When I first picked up the guitar and played it the "right" way it was very uncomfortable So I finally flipped it and it was so much easier.
I believe that lefties as the minority is a myth derived by right handers. I once worked for a company where 80% were lefties. My father, grandfather, brother, 2 out of my 3 children are left handed. At school they tried to force my son to play guitar right handed until I intervened...he plays beautifully left at 13 years old
I have to admit that my son is the only left handed guitarist at his school with a catchement area of about 20 miles radius! You can find his video on mosis133 'guitar improvisation' and 'tenacious d kikapoo guitar cover'. Hope you like :) x
hate it when are guitar makes going to give left handers a good selection of guitar at competitive prices i recently paided 50 pounds more just for a left handed guitar
Cobain was actually right handed, he played left handed guitar because his that thought him how to play, played lefty... She also bought him his first guitar, which was a lefty :P
@maineenaim Actually your misinformed...his dad got his first guitar from a friend who was in a band and he was actually always left handed, not right

Don't worry bro. The righties know that we are more artistic. We got Hendrix, Iommi and Cobain for starters.
