Never understood how you could play a guitar left handed.

Most left handed players restring the guitar so that the strings are in the same order as they are for right handed players (Low E closest to your head). However, there are some exceptions. Doyle Bramhall II plays with Clapton a lot, and his guitar is strung for right handed players.

He’s a great guitarist and has a unique sound because of how he plays. I play guitar and love to watch other guitarists play; you always learn things. Saw Doyle with Clapton and got a headache watching him, because everything was backwards and upside down. Ouch. Didn’t seem to bother Clapton though.
