Bucko
Hey everyone, just got onto this site to find out what i can about guitars and the basic's for dummies.
I am a lefty and have been sort of playing bits and peices for the past 28 years playing right handed acoustic guitars upside down.
I have no idea when it come to cords all i do is listen to the tunes that i like and start mucking around until i get as close to what i am hearing.
I would like to know if anyone has been in the same situation as me and how they managed to convert to a left handed guitar?
Look forward to your replies.

Hi, Bucko. Welcome. I am left-handed but I am playing right-hand, so I might not be able to help right now.

Thank you everyone for your input. I don't think i made myself clear when i said i didn't know the cords. I  n fact i don't even know what a cord is let alone where to find it.
