Do lefty guitarists looking weird to you?

I always feel a bit odd stood next to righties :(

well i don't know about guitarists, but it seems easier to be next to a lefty bassist, if your jamming along it seems simpler anyway.

on stage the contrast of having one guitarist each side of the singer would look good i think

trying to make lefty guitars screws with my brain... i manage to do it ok but everything takes longer because i stand there staring wondering if i have it right or not. it should be easy - most of my templatea are marked 'this side up for lefties', but its still bloody confusing stuff

so yes you are all wierd and its all wrong!! :P

proud lefty here...."..but I'm not a witch..."
-my band mates thru the years have always dug it...esp. the guys who aren't so good...easy to see my fret hand to keep up with chord changes..I always stand stage left,I suppose...headstock pointing towards edge o' stage/flatbed truck/couch,etc...

It's a rare thing but I actually have 2 lefties in my band, and my other Guitar player (a righty) is now the one who looks out of place, lol! It's good to have a righty and a lefty in a band as I think it's easier to watch what the other person is doing when learning riffs etc.
