Thread: Left-handed musicians

I am left-handed but years ago decided to learn to play my guitar right-handed. I wish I hadn't.

Me too except I'm pretty happy with the choice. I write southpaw but play right-handed like the majority of players... and I'm glad I do because a) I can't imagine the headache of stringing everything backwards, b) I learned from whoever I could find to teach me so I would have been hard pressed to find a left-handed teacher )))

My guitar teacher in school was left handed but played accordion (loudly and boistrously all through guitar class whilst singing some slavic tunes I never knew about back then) right handed... I wouldn't know how to recognize mirrored or not though as pertains to the instrument)

I learned to play from the coolest guitar teacher ever, BTW... Он даже был стеклянный глаз)
