There aren't many lady guitar players so I'm going to narrow it down further...! Any of you lefties?
Yum yum yummy, I got metal in my tummy!
I teach three ladies who play lefty. Ages 13, 15 and 65.
Peace
and for sure a lady, but can't call myself a guitar player quite yet... having just started a few days ago & damn are my fingertips sore!

I am a lefty but I play righthanded. :?
Ah well, if Mark Knopfler can do it, so can I.
All my life I wanted to be somebody. Now I see I should have been more specific.
Joan Jett is lefty but plays righty, right?
I'll be a lefty...will be cruising for a guitar very soon. :D
I'm a lefty, wow I don't feel so alone anymore!
I'm not very good yet but I'm working on it.
And I love it.
I'm also left-handed! :D The only problem is that my dad doesn't want me playing--so I'm teaching myself on his right-handed guitar...heheh. I have to learn the right-handed way; my dad would definitely notice reversed strings....
lol@shodai.
Hows the finger now Kathleen?
wow David Left handed AND 65 very cool. :D
Wish I knew someone I could practice with. I hear you can really progess if you play with someone that is better. Shoot I don't even know anyone that plays guitar. :( Oh well.
Hope everyones having a kickin week.
Enjoy.
i am a lefty too but i don't strum guitars using my left. I've tried it once, it was difficult for me to do!

you could play a right-handed guitar upside down, a la Otis Rush and Albert King
Otis - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsXK2zL2-yM
Albert - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKY8KIt9kqc (check his fingers on the solo around 1.35 in)
didn't seem to do them much harm. :roll:
or.....you could just learn to play righty, like I did (yup, another lefty by day, and righty by play here, lol) :P
I am a newbie, haven't done an intro post yet. Also new to the guitar. I used to play but my first husband didn't like it so I quit.
Going shopping with my son (who plays quite well) next week for my first guitar.
I am left handed but do lots of things right handed, so I am going to try both.
Betcha I wind up with a left handed guitar, though.
Also, I am 57 and someone (a stupid relative) laughed and said she would hide when she saw me coming when I posted on Facebook that I was going to try to learn to play again. :roll:
