Ambidextrious players


Reading the polls about left and right leg makes me wonder, as guitar players, we're mostly right hand players by default. Just wondering which of you guys do things lefty [write, shoot hoops, throw, etc...] but when it comes to the guitar, you grab a normal righty guitar. I'm mainly a lefty but when it comes to holding [and trying to hold a chord on] a lefty guitar, my head goes in a fizzle! Otherwise, seems like i've managed to balance the logic and artistic sides of my brain through this process but maybe that's only me! I also use a computer mouse with my right hand if that makes any difference.

Re: Ambidextrious players


Generally I do everything right handed, although I am not immune to the occational "Phantom Stranger" if the wife isnt home.

Re: Ambidextrious players


Cid you sicko.

You know...if you want to know how it feels to start over (learning the guitar)....try playing left handed, if your a righty.

Just thinking out loud.

Re: Ambidextrious players


I write and eat left handed (e.g. fork/spoon left hand knife right hand), but do everything else right handed.

Re: Ambidextrious players


I'm really ambidextrious. I wasn't sure which way to play at first. I throw lefty, bat both ways (prefer lefty), write with my right hand, eat righty with a fork, kick both (prefer righty). It took a while for my right hand to develope picking.

Re: Ambidextrious players


Wow I'm the only one who can play both. Yup I;ve been able to play left handed guitars and right handed guitars (though I'm better at right handed because I hardly ever play one left handed)

Re: Ambidextrious players


Write left handed, kick a ball with my left foot (generally way off target). That's all, everything else is right handed.

Re: Ambidextrious players


I can use a knife and fork with either hand, and I can write with either hand, but it's better right handed. I think it's interesting that we are fairly ambidextrous people on this site.
