  lefty righty

I am actually right handed but playing left handed. I play lefty out of necessity. My left wrist is fused and I couldn't make the chords so off I went into Lefty's world. The people here are right about going into a music shop and finding a left handed guitar to play. You may find 3 in a shop that has a few hundred guitars in it. Another thought is having to transpose the music backwards. mirror images of the chords for a righty.
I've been lucky to get a couple of very good guitars from a couple of music stores online. That being a crapshoot in itself. Believe me though, if I could I would play right handed. Another reason I bought a lap steel to occupy inbetween practice sessions with my electric and acoustic.
