Nice one. Has the strings reversed. Low E is on the bottom.

 

Yes! Its the real thing!

 

It looks totally fake to me, but that's because I'm right handed and can't follow what the hell he's playing (as it's reversed)

 

I play rightly also but he is really playing it.

 

Same to me, but I´ve seen this guy (concert) and it´s for real

 

I am left handed and when I learned to play the guitar and bass I learned to play right handed; it really isn't that much more difficult. Maybe if you play classical guitar or a lot of finger style you may have slightly more difficulties than a naturally right handed person, but it still is manageable. I don't know why anyone would limit themselves to the few left handed guitars available out there and not put in the effort to learn to play right handed.

 

Yeah, i know it's real. It just looks funky to me because I heard things I couldn't see. You get used after watching a bit more

One of the guitar teachers I had did the same as you, and shreds like a mofo:

I've never understood why the guitar is the only musical instrument that comes in left/right models. I was 11 or 12 years old before I ever saw anyone playing a guitar backwards - and that was Paul McCartney on the Ed Sullivan Show.

I play RH but my left does the vast majority of the work with the Right holding a pick between thumb and forefinger while the Left is doing incredible gymnastics all over the fretboard with all 4 fingers and sometimes the thumb fretting the low E string. In school band I played a Trumpet and Baritone with 3 valves played with the right hand but later switched to a double French Horn with 4 valves played with the left hand.

Been to many symphonic concerts but never saw a violinist or cellist bowing with their left hand. Having a LH and RH violin sitting next to each other would probably result in a musical sword fight. Would a left handed piano have the low notes on the right and the high notes on the left?

If anyone can think of another instrument that comes in L/R configurations please enlighten me.
