Must a left-handed man learn to play guitar just the same as right-handed one.
Or is it better to learn to play on the other side?
How do you think?

You won't be able to play a right handed guitar as easily - just play a lefty one and you'll get better, quicker.
the other side.
I'm left handed, when it comes to writing & smoking & nothing else. but my mother is so extremely left handed, she can't even eat like a normal person with her knife in the right hand. either way, for people like her, people who are extremely left handed, I think there are left handed guitars. I think you'd just tire your poor hands, trying it the right handed way...
but I've never had these kind of issues, thanks to the violin, I guess. so I'm probably not the right person to ask these things to.

I'm left-handed and I learned to play it the right-handed way, and I'm the best in my class. It makes no difference.
there. that answers your question much better.

It really depends on what you're comfortable with. I'm left-handed (very left-handed for the most part) but I use my right hand for a lot of things. In fact, after I learned to play the trumpet, I realized I play the guitar better right-handed.

Jimi Hendrix I would assume is the most famous. And if you don't know who that is you should be shot.

Yeah so? The irony is I used a left-handed guitar upside down for a while as well. But the strings couldn't tune properly or they'd snap. (cause there was this little bit on the head of the guitar. the 4th string did not like it.)

If I were to play guitar, I would play left - handed, but I only have a right handed guitar (which my brother plays). No matter how much I practice, I CANNOT play right handed. It's to weird. But thats just me. So I don't play guitar, I got a drum set instead.
