                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Has anyone out there ever switched from playing right to left handed? Because of arthritis, I can only spread my left hand about 4 frets but my right about 6 frets. Also my index finger has no strength for bar chords.<br>My worries are the 2 years of work I've put into playing would go down the tubes, the gear changes etc<br><br>Also, the guitar does not feel right at all when I try to play left handed. Maybe because I'm right handed I'll never be able to make the change.<br><br>Thanks<br>Dave]]></content:encoded>
