i know the camera does what a mirror does, but seems silly if you record yourself playing the guitar. The playback shows you playing with your left hand! how do i correct this?

This is very simple. Just play with your left hand, and then the camera will show you playing with your right.

I depends on the program you use. If you use Quicktime player > File > new movie recording. The movie is not "mirror reversed".
