Not at all! Some of the most famous guitarists in the world are lefties who play right handed guitars: Mark Knopfler, Gary Moore and Robert Fripp are all southpaw players who play in the traditional right handed way. There are benefits: your most powerful hand is doing most of the work so you may find you progress quicker than right handed players. We have found from talking to customers that simply getting them to hold both a left handed guitar and then a right handed guitar in the normal playing position will quickly establish a preference, even if they can't yet play! If in doubt, pay a visit to your closest guitarguitar and talk to a member of our staff who'll happily guide you through the process.
