Can a lefty learn to play right?

I didn't think of it the first time I picked up a guitar..playing right-handed just felt "natural"...trying to play/holding a left-handed guitar felt "awkward".

Same here. As a lefty I'm never sure why a lefty guitar is more suited for a 'lefty'. the myth is more 'cultural' rather than practical. . I had never heard of or seen a left-handed guitar when I started playing decades ago...thank heavens.

I've always found playing a right-handed guitar an advantage. I'd encourage any beginner to get a right-handed guitar because once one plays for a while it's almost impossile to switch over.
