I see my guitar in the mirror, but i don&#39;t realize the mirror is there. So i think the guitar is upside down. Based on that perception, I notice that the strings are reversed in the up and down direction. So the guitar does look backward top to bottom. However, if I knew the mirror was there, I could not perceive the guitar as backwards top to bottom because the top points up. I would think that the mirror changed my right handed guitar into a lefthanded guitar. Invariably, people will compare an upright mirror image to an upright direct image and see it as backward left to right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537250501289775111.post-70859741928301173312011-12-01T01:06:53.378-05:002011-12-01T01:06:53.378-05:00I agree that you can actually compare that act to what gymnasts do to go upside down. I can&#39;t think of how it works in the mirror, but I&#39;m glad you described it.<br /><br /><a href="http://bestligymnastics.com/" rel="nofollow">gymnastics for toddlers</a>Williamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15021806128343588742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537250501289775111.post-32123602610870467782011-11-30T21:05:50.879-05:002011-11-30T21:05:50.879-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Williamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15021806128343588742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537250501289775111.post-43895852751574715562010-05-18T17:43:11.899-04:002010-05-18T17:43:11.899-04:00Bonny Smith from cadsmith.com wrote to me and pointed that horizontal mirror will indeed flip up and down.
