Lefty playing upside down

[Richard98]

I'm actually right handed but an old hand injury impossed some limitations on how I'd be able to play as a right handed guitar player. For me on the guitar it was a choice of dealing with the injury when I went looking for a new guitar or when I played one. The only thing I regret about my decision is if my kids decide to pick up one of my guitars the guitars are leftys. Flipping a right handed mandolin upside down solves that problem. It's really nice to know so many others have done the same thing , gives me confidence going forward.

Maybe the majority of us have approached it bass-ackwards, and the "right-hand-playing" lefties actually have it dialed in: Fret with your dominant hand!

Chris Thile is left handed... Just saying...

I also play right handed, but I am a lefty and although it was akward at first, playing any instrument feels a little akward at first. If you push through it though, I think that having your dominant hand for fretting makes things easier in the future.
