Im a Southpaw but play guitar right handed

[6 stringer1234]

Hi im new here and I've been playing guitar almost 17 years now ! Everything I do with my hands I've always favored with my left hand....
All except playing guitar ! In the early days I really struggled with rhythm and timing. But I could play great solo's right from the begining, I almost gave up playing but I persevered with it. After a lot of hard work, now not only can I now play great rhythm I can sing at the sametime..

Just wondered if there was any left handers out there who play right hand who had the same problem with rhythm playing ?

I think everybody struggled with Rhythm and timing in the beginning. Some never get very good at it either.

I am envious. Im left handed and I wish I learned to play right handed but I wanted to be different and play lefty like Jimi. Oh well.

I'm left handed and do everything as a lefty except for play guitar. I learned how to play that way so any challenges that I had (have) I think were simply normal and have nothing to do with being left handed.
