Thanks Joe and 6string, I'm pretty sure he'll be better off trying righthanded then. I agree that practice and the muscle developed through practice means a lot more than what your dominant hand is, especially since the fretting hand is doing a lot of complex motions. Don't underestimate the importance of the picking hand though, an awkward hand will KILL your timing
And btw Dan, wasn't Jimi Hendrix lefthanded, but did he just play righthanded guitars (with the strings inverted of course)? I thought he liked doing it that way because the toggle switch (and whammy bar?) would be on top for easy access...
