Question:
My 14 year old son has decided he wants to play guitar. A guitar is his only item on the Christmas wish list.
Answer:
Being as your son is just starting out, there is no reason for him to learn left handed guitar. Of course there are many fine players who play left handed. (It would be absurd to expect them to do anything but continue what they are doing, and is most certainly not the point I wish to make.). Yet for one just starting out, there is no need for one to deliberately go down that path when it isn't necessary. Both hands have an equally, yet different, important job to do. In this context, there really is no such thing as left handed guitar. I am a left handed individual, yet it has no relevance to learning to play the guitar. One shouldn't complicate matters tha
