Don't worry !
My daughter is lefty but she learned to play guitar "rightly". Steve Morse did the same ...

All hope is not gone ...

Thanks for the reassurance !

He's just turned 2 and I'm hoping it's just a development phase.

I'm sure he'll be ok, he can't be true lefty - I mean he's really bright and cool, and not retarded at all....... :D :D :D

My youngest daughter is a lefty and when she mess around with a guitar she does it as a rightie and she's only 8.

Don't sweat it Dizzy, the only time I've found it difficult is teaching her to tie her shoes.

Same here.

Besides, there's no such thing as karma. It's called "the FORCE".

I thought that in the U.S. all the lefties were killed during the McCarthy era :eek:

did you name Luke after Lukather, or Skywalker?

I eat and write lefty, everything else is right, including guitar and jogging. Coach says I'm amphibious.

Dizzy,
there are places to get counseling to help you through this. You could also fix your Karma by purchasing a 7 string BFR for me. Blackburst would be fine.

Thanks,

Scott

ps- "lefties" playing righty aren't true lefties. Freakin wannabes! :p

(then again, who would wannabe lefty?)

Hehe. Looks like my son's (4) going to be like my dad. He always grabbed whatever he needed with whichever hand was closest. Could do anything with either hand. I started out doing a lot of things left-handed, but my teacher's "broke me of the habit." Now the only thing I do lefty is swing a baseball bat, and that's because my dad wanted me to be a switch hitter. I suspect my son will play righty, simply because he wants a guitar now and leftys generally don't come cheap enough that I won't cry when he destroys it. :D
