Is anyone out there a southpaw, goofy footer or sinister cack-hander?
My wife is. She wants to learn how to play guitar. Should she:
Play a left-handed guitar like Paul McCartney
Play a right-handed guitar with re-arranged strings left-handed like Jimi Hendrix
Play a right-handed guitar upside down left-handed like Bob Geldoff,
Play a right-handed guitar right-handed like Paul Simon, or
Something else?

Re: Left-handed guitarists
BTW:
I can't believe that Paul Simon is a left-hander who plays right-handed.

There is no way I can get that rhythm he has on "Me and Julio Down By the School Yard".

Re: Left-handed guitarists
I've got the devil's hand... and I play guitar (not like I can play it or anything!) or maybe I should say I play bass (which is still considered a guitar, no?) right handed... like everyone else. If she feels comfortable playing right handed... she'll be better off in the long run... some lefties just can't do it though.

Re: Left-handed guitarists
I'm pretty much exclusively left-handed but I make an exception for guitar-playing.

It might be interesting for me to play upside down too
