I play the guitar, and as you may know, it's played so that the left hand
is at the neck; so the left hand has to do pretty more meticulous job than
the right hand.
Now, this is interesting: Usually left-handed people play the guitar in
the wrong way (ie. the right hand is at the neck). This results in either a
harder job (because the strings are reversed and you can, for example, tap
the bass strings with the thumb of your right hand) or in the need of
changing the ordering of the strings (which disables you from playing other
guitars than yours; and I think that some guitars are not designed for this
and you can't reverse the ordering of the strings).
Both of them are difficult solutions.
However, I have a friend who is left-handed but plays the guitar as
right-handed people do. He says that it's not difficult; it's just a matter
of not starting playing the guitar in the wrong way. Once you learn the
"bad" habit of playing the guitar reversed, it's very difficult to learn it
in the other way.

I play the guitar as well. I must say I have a harder time with my
right hand than with my left hand. I can play some pretty fast riffs
if I happen to lay my hands on a Fender or Ibanez (oh man!) electric
but my right hand, more precisely the fingers, fail me when I have to
do it on my nylon string. Then again, I don't use the right middle
finger much because I lost my nail when I had a gangrene. Trying to
play flamenco with a finger less is, to say the least, challenging :)
I always take my guitar with me to parties. There are other people who
play the guitar but with a single exception no one but me would carry
a guitar to a party. At one such occasion the guy who held the party
had a left-handed guitar (he was, of course, left-handed) but was too,
err, well he didn't feel very well :) so he didn't play. I wanted to
switch the strings to right-handed but he asked me not to because they
were old and could break, so I gave my guitar to another player and
took the leftie one. Naturally I got to play rhythm because solos were
out of my reach with the 'wrong' handed guitar, but simple chords
(even F#!) were quite easy to strum, and that was enough for the case.
Great lefties (correct me if I'm wrong): Paul McCartney, Jimmy
Hendrix, John McLaughlin. Anyone else?

I think that he can play in either way. I remember seeing one concert in
the television where he first played the "right" way, and then he changed
the guitar and played the next song the "left" way.
