    tuning is the same for left and right handed guitars - turn the pegs until the tuner indicates the string is in tune. There are YouTube videos that will show you how to do it.

    Also any right handed player will be able to tune a left handed guitar, they just won't necessarily be able to play "Stairway..." on it afterwards :)

    won't be the last time! :D

    tuning is tuning. easy peasy.

    and while as a righty, I can't play stairway on a lefty, I CAN tune one and play enough chords and licks upside down to prove that it IS in tune!
