Lefty, smart lefty or righty

[strummer]

So?

Lefty playing Righty. Not as smart as BP.

+1. To be "like BP' is not saying we are "equal to" BP. Kanahora.

 

[BOOST]

proud to be a lefty!! and will remain true to the roots!!

 

[strummer]

Oh, you guys never relax, do you

What I meant: "smart like Big Poppa" in the sense that, as BP said in an earlier thread, he was smart enough to play right-handed basses even though he is lefthanded.

@Golem: Kanahora? You mean "Kanonhora"? I hope not

If the hand you write with determines whether you're a lefty or not, then I'm a lefty who plays right-handed. I do most things right-handed...I only eat, write and draw lefty.

So I guess you could also say I'm a righty who writes left-handed.....

I bleeb this is called "ambidextrious"

I'm a plain old righty that uses my left hand to finger things....

I checked on the favored transliteration: "Keyn aynhoreh". While the ayin h'ora is the evil eye, KEYN ayin h'ora is for warding off the evil eye, like the cross to the vampire or a wolfbane for the werewolf. It's in the keyn, as they say.

Tradition is that when you compliment someone or comment on their good fortune, you also attract the evil eye, that seeks to undermine anything good. In this case, since we are discussing left handedness, and it is masquerading as right handedness, surely the evil eye is drooling over the opportunity.

As to just how smart I am to have chosen "The Right Hand Road", well .... when my first teacher gave me lessons as a gift, I asked "how much is the gear gonna cost to do these lessons?" Answer was "Go get a $50 bass and we'll get started in a couple of days". This was *NOT* decades ago, so for $50 in a small berg I was not likely to come back with a lefty ax in a few days. So, Keyn aynhoreh!

No, I think ambidextrous means being able to use either hand. I'm useless if I try to play left-handed, or try to write right-handed.

Then again, some people say I'm useless anyway....

... interesting. I have always known this to be defined as using both hands equally. not neccissarily for the same tasks. but equally.

I could be wrong. and usually am (just ask my wife)

Lefty, playing a R/H bass... also writing from the right hand, and shootin' pucks!
(hockey land, here, LOL)
But I do have a pair of Lefty scissors, LOL cant live without those!

Righty here but no bass payer......

I would say your confused............

At this point, lefties outnumber righties by 12 to 8 on this poll. If the poll continues this pattern, does this mean more lefties than righties are born to be bass players? Especially since righties outnumber lefties at least 6 to 1 (that's just my guess).

 

[IBassLikeThis!]

I am a righty, but i want to buy a lefty some day.

 

[azzy_wazzy]

I'm a righty and have no plans to buy a lefty guitar

 

[b-unit]

My first teacher at age 10, convinced me to buy this fabulously crappy "Winston" electric guitar that he had on the wall of his shop and I was a "backwards player" ever since. It does keep a lot of gubby mits off my bass tho as its "backwards"

i saw this on discovery channel, left handed folks are apprently inclinded to be left from in the womb, while righties are further along with brain creation in the trimester cycles. something like that , but basically your a lefty before a righty becomes a righty...

That makes sense. I don't know what the figures are, but there is undoubtedly a larger percentage of artistically inclined lefties than are found in a general cross section of the population.

All of us leftys know this one:

"If the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left handed people are in their right minds."

Lefty playing righty.
