I tried using a right handed guitar and even tried to play "Guitar Hero III" right handed. Although I played great, it was just not natural to me after some practice.

I did decide to continue to play left handed. I tried using a right handed guitar and even tried to play “Guitar Hero III” right handed.

It takes a while but one day it will just 'click' i promise. There's no magic solution, just practice. And working hard. Then one day you wake up and it's really easy all of a sudden, seriously, it's strange but true.

If you get it done professionally there's no damage to the guitar, you just need to change the nut and possibly the bridge. It's far easier to change the bridge on an electric, but getting it professionally done by a reputable luthier should make that a non-issue.

It makes sense to play guitar where the left hand is doing so. Flip a right handed guitar over: Leave it strung right hand as to maintain the integrity of the top, and learn to chord upside down. I know 3 people that play this way. In your case, flip your lefty guitar over and give that a try. My advice…Continue to play left handed. Work…work hard. You will face the same issue switching over to the other side. Besides, you already have the guitar. Left handers have always had other options for playing…here are a few
