Does a left handed person need to learn to play guitar left-handed? Or does it not matter?
Question by Glenn D: Does a left handed person need to learn to play guitar left-handed? Or does it not matter?
I have a new guitar student just about to start. He is left handed, but isn’t sure he needs to learn left-handed. Is there a consensus that he is destined to be limited by left handed instruments and learning materials?

Starting from scratch it would be better to learn right handed (and easier for you to teach him that way). I had a left handed teacher once and it really was hard to transfer what he was doing to what I was doing because it all looked backwards. If you do it, you should sit across from him instead of next to him.
