Other said before, but I would add again-
Buy /play right handed guitar.
I'm left handed but wanted to learn right handed. Like you, it just felt right. Also, larger selection of instruments and easier to learn in the sense you don't have to reverse everything.

Also, jump right into Cash, etc... Learning the songs that inspire will give the incentive to stick through the learning phase. Once you have some basic chords down, If I were learning, I would go to bars to find cover players who plays the stuff I like, and ask them if they teach lessons. Many of them are willing to help, or at least know someone who can. Those homespun videos have always been good. I think I have a Jorma Kaukonen vhs tape somewhere around here.

Big difference between learning some chords and bringing a song to life. The live players can make that second part happen. I still haven't really learned that second part!
