Specific voicings of chords may or may not be reachable, given the length of your fingers. Sorry about that. Do feel free to leave a string unplucked if it violates your sense of proper voicing. Finger-picking or flat-picking lets you do stuff like that, while (of course) simple strumming does not.
Re: left-handers... I've never understood why they make right handers fret with their left hands; there's in general more dexterity required there than on the plucking hand, at least at the level I've reached. So you have the advantage.
Hm. Must remember to take my guitar to the shop soon.

Yes, I suspected I may have the advantage, too, but there must be some reason why the instrument got to be standardised this way. The lute was already that way, and I assume the majority of people were right handed in the Middle Ages too, so what's up?-- <ni> komet: You are functionally illiterate as regards trashy erotica.

If you're including rationality as part of reason, no there musn't be some reason. It may have been accidental and it just so happened that everyone copied the accident.
