Enough said. Why would anyone want electricity affecting the right side of their brain? That sucks, unless you want to feel enraged. I only play a left handed guitar if I want to feel seriously pissed off from 1) the electricity, 2)the slowness of fretting with the nondominant hand, 3)the fact that I can pick so damn fast with the right hand and the stupid left hand cant keep up. Reversed, fret with the right hand, its very very fast, and the left hand to pick faster is sped up, and the left hand never gets in contact with the electricity unless finger picking or tapping. I only finger tap or finger pick to get riled up before really shredding. I have left and right handed guitars. The time perception is messed up playing right handed. Time goes by way too fast, like a demon is in the room. If I play fretting right handed everything slows way down. It doesnt feel rushed, even when playing very very fast, kind of like a car wreck. Everything is going very fast, but it seems very slow. This is just what you need to shred really accurately. So many reasons not to fret with the left hand, #1 being that that is the not logical part of the brain. You want the planning being done by the non logical part of the brain? Nah. That sucks.

It does have its pro's and con's, but they don't bother me. I new it would be harder to get left handed guitars when I started, but, they are there, you just have to find them. I am now the proud owner of a brand new American 1952 reissue left handed Fender Telecaster. And, the beautiful thing is, it didn't cost me a cent more than than the right handed version would. And, when it comes to actually taking lessons in some way, lefties generally have an advantage. Chances are, your instructor, whether online or in person, is going to be right handed, (or at least play that way) so, all a lefty will have to do is mirror his/her instructor. And that is my word of encouragement to those attempting to learn guitar as a Southpaw. I love being a left handed guitarist. It does have its pro’s and con’s,
