How many of us are left handed ?

The other was a guy I worked with. Quite a consummate guitarist, he could play as well left handed as he could right handed……we always thought he’d look cool with a double neck guitar, one neck out of each side ;)

I have a friend definitely a lefty but bats right handed.......I have though watched him take a right handed strung guitar, flip it over to his normal left handed position and then play for an hour with the band without batting an eyelid! Me I cannot play a guitar to save my life!

Bluesman Albert King used to do the exact same thing…..thick strings at the top and all……
 
Southpaw here........an I ain't no freaking Alien! :tongue-out3: ;)
That’s the point - you’re none the wiser and think you’re normal but the aliens inhabit you and report back to their mother planet.

It’s true, if you don’t believe me you don’t drink enough!
 
Yep I'm left handed and unlike some others here I throw with the right and bat with the left - not much good at either though.

Once had a go with an SA80 and they said I could only fire it right handed - never hit anything.

Funny how left handed people always notice other left handers whether it be on telly or work, while right handers seem oblivious unless it impacts them directly like they find the mouse mat on the 'wrong' side. I used to wind my wife up by putting the whirly grater back together with the hand wheel on the left until she found out I was doing it on purpose.

The quirk in our family is that for at least the past three generations, it's always the second born child that's the leftie (and proud). :smiling2:

Did he now.... Need to look at some of my album covers to see if I can see it on any!!
Not that obvious, he played a Flying V, and they look the same both ways up…….well apart from the switchgear.
 
Forgot to say…..my daughter is a left hander, and when she started writing she used to write in perfect mirror writing……. readable when reflected in a mirror, but totally unintelligible when looked at normally. According to her school at the time that is very common,…..they lent us a very good DVD to explain it all…..
 
Was told by the nuns they were spawn of the devil. Never bothered me though.
 
I was a teacher and teaching writing to left handers was difficult. A right hander reveals the writing as they move across the page from left to right. A left hander covers the writing they have written as they move across the page. Left handers often turn their wrist or turn the page in order to get around this problem. Left handed children have an extra hurdle to overcome.

That’s exactly the explanation given for my daughter’s mirror writing. She was mimicking revealing the writing by going the other way.

Didn't Leonardo da Vinci write like that?
