Right hand guitar, change to left hand play (don't change strings)

Awesome, I actually do that. I am left hand and play both - right hand or just flip the guitar with the cords reversed (not changing) with the 6th string on the bottom

Of course I can do that! You wouldn't want to listen to me but I can do it.

Libby Cotton wrote/played "Freight Train" that way.

I'll just leave it to him. He did a great job.

Many untrained left handed guitarists start out this way. Some never learn the more orthodox way and make what they know work for them (as this fellow did).

When I opened the thread I was expecting the guy to play lefty and switch to righty in the same song. Imagine my disappointment ...

Sure.

Gurrumul played that way too

Jimi Hendrix was right handed but played guitar lefty style however he could also play right handed as well. Glen Campbell was left handed but played right handed.

Pretty sure Dick Dale plays this way also!
