Guitar The best way to play guitar for left handed

Hi Everyone.........
Left-handed people play guitar or electric bass in one of different ways:
-> play a true left-handed instrument
-> play a right-handed instrument that has been altered to play left-handed
-> turn a right-handed guitar upside down, pick with the left hand
But i think the best way is play a true left-handed instrument is a right way.

There is a school of thought in the classical guitar world that the guitar is an instrument that is plucked with the right hand and fretted with the left, regardless of the player's orientation. Pianos, bowed instruments etc. are not reversed for lefties.

Among rock players, I think Joe Perry is a lefty who just picked up a standard guitar and never thought about turning it around.
