#Lefty #guitar players, what are some good resources for someone just getting started specific to your sinister condition?

One of my beginning #Guitars4Vets students is left-handed, so I'm realizing all of our support materials assume a right-handed player. Trying to show her chords on her loaner guitar is an exercise in frustration; I have new sympathy for those trying to learn on the "wrong" hand.

Also, can you simply restring an acoustic upside down and play lefty, or are there gotchas?
