Most teachers can teach you to play left handed or at least any worth his salt. Keep in mind the greatest guitarist of all time Jimi Hendrix played a righty backwards but he still played left handed. Kurt Cobain and Tommi Iomi are a couple more good lefties. You should not have to compromise just because you are left handed, you will pay more for guitars however.

I don't play the guitar, but when I read Table's comment, I was waiting to see if someone would reply with this type of post. I have fooled around with guitars plenty, and I think that trying to play it backwards would be super difficult when it comes to strumming.
