However, I'm concerned that I could be potentially limiting her later on because she might not ever fully develop the dexterity she might have otherwise developed if I had just gotten her a left-handed guitar to start with.


There is a place in Houston that specializes in left handed guitars.

I play right handed so can't vouch for the prices but check it out anyway, couldn't hurt.

I'm a lefty and I learned to play righty. It's an advantage. The left hand fretting and playing chords as well as scale runs is dependent upon left hand dexterity.

Have her learn right handed. It's really a tremendous advantage being a lefty playing righty if she ever wants to stretch it out.

First of all, I can't believe how many left-handed people we have here.

Thanks for all of the advice. I'm gonna let her play on the Strat tomorrow.

I was pretty surprised by that as well. I had always assumed that I was a freak of nature being a lefty playing right-handed guitar. Sounds like that's actually pretty common.

I agree, get the girl started right (pun intended)

of course, if this lefty would've learned to play right-handed, he might have amounted to something.

Notice that Jimi is actually playing a RIGHT-HANDED guitar.

Jim and Tony both learned to play before they actually made left-handed guitars.

He's been in a few bands out here and is actually a good bassist.

Johnny Depp is a really accomplished guitarist as well. That's actually why he moved to L.A. originally: To be a rock star.
