I have always wanted to play guitar, and now that i am an adult with adult money i am finally going to learn. I am a lefty, and i do just about everything lefty and always have. archery is about the only thing i know i do righty and that is because the gear i had access to as a kid was right-handed.
I have access to a right-handed guitar, but not to a left-handed guitar to compare.
Curious what other sinister guitarists think before i shell out cash for a lefty.
My son plays bass and he said that about fingering with the dominant hand, so I asked why he doesn’t play a left handed bass.
I imagine most people just don’t really know which style they’d prefer until they’ve already gotten used to the default right-handed method and don’t feel like starting over. Non-standard play also makes it harder to find an instrument, and learn chord finger positions and online tabs, as others have mentioned.
