I am a left-handed person who has learned to play right-handed guitar fairly successfully in the past. Currently, I’m starting out again doing both – I have a left and a right guitar and I’m swapping between them. Actually, I’m finding I’m slightly better at fretting with my non-dominant hand, which I thought was quite odd. Guitar has evolved so that in general people pick/strum with the dominant hand. I haven’t yet observed much advantage to that, but I guess there must be one. An advantage to learning right-handed would be it’s much easier for (the majority = right-handed) people to show you stuff, and easier to learn from others, or use their guitars in a social situation. Keep us posted on how it goes.

Hey Christopher, that was really cool -well done, solitaire.

Fantastic playing Donny! Congratulations! I do so like the shape of your guitar. Who is the manufacturer of it?

Hey Kevin, this was just great. You have proved that a man doesn’t need to have his privates trapped in a gate hinge to make this song work! Very well done.

So I looked at your profile and it seems that you, like myself, are not actually that competent or regular at 6 string playing. So I’d say NO, give yourself a 12 string as a reward when you have finally mastered 6 string. I say that because I have loved 12 stings for about 40 yrs and I haven’t the remotest clue how to tune one, let alone play it…. love you, miss you, David Bowie!
