Is it possible to first learn guitar in a right-handed position, and then buy a left-handed guitar (or restring the right-handed one) and play it left-handed?<\/p>\n<p>If so, how is this possible?<br \/>\nI am an aspiring musician and hope to pursue many instruments. \ud83d\ude42\n<\/p>\n<p><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Sure, but why?  Learn it right handed and play it right handed.  Don&#8217;t buy a right handed guitar and try to flip it over and restring it for left-handed either.  That&#8217;s a horrid idea because there&#8217;s way more to it than just putting the strings in the opposite order.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a grave misconception that left-handed people need to &#8220;learn&#8221; to do things left handed.  Do left handed piano players switch the keys around in the reverse order?  Do left-handed people play left-handed violins, flutes, trumpets, or other instruments?  Nope.  So why should a left handed person have to play a left-handed guitar?<\/p>\n<p>I happen to be right handed and my wife is left handed.  I hurt my left hand a while back and was amazed to suddenly realize how many things I do much more comfortably with my left hand (even though I&#8217;m right handed).  I also noticed how many things my left-handed wife does with her right hand (throw and bat a baseball and play guitar among them).  It&#8217;s just a matter of how you learn it and get comfortable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>how to play guitar if left handed<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>how to play guitar if left handed Left hand muting &#8211; cover chords lesson tutorial &#8211; Guitar Lessons for Beginners Acoustic Want more?
