Thanks for the clarification!  I misinterpreted something John said in 
the Playboy interviews (p.117 in the hardcover):

"Paul taught me how to play the guitar proper -- but I had to learn the 
chords left-handed, because Paul is left-handed. So I learned them 
upside down and I'd go home and reverse them. I can still play upside 
down, with the high strings on top."
