How hard is it playing guitar left-handed if you can already play right-handed?

I’m right handed and have interest in learning guitar left handed. It’s a little different and I like that. I’ve already played guitar (right handed) in the past so will that make learning guitar left handed even harder? Is this going to be too difficult, should I just keep with right handed playing?

Barco’s reply makes sense. But if you choose to play left-handed you will encounter similar problems that you did when first learning to play, such as developing the calluses on your fingertips and training your fingers to respond to chordal formations.

Your only advantage is that you comprehend chords and strumming patterns. Moving this knowledge through practical application to the other side of your body will be challenged insofar as your perservance will hold up.
