Great. Another lefty vs. righty thread...all started by someone who is a lefty, but plays like a righty.

I'd think you real lefties would have a bigger problem with him than the rest of us

 

[Voo]

So, being in our left minds makes us closer to being lefty, right?

Wow, 27 posts and the leader of the separatist movement hasn't chimed in yet? It must be late in Australia.

He's in Australia, he is separate enough from the rest of the world.

Yep I am a natural left handed I write with my left, kick a ball with my left foot but I was taught to play guitar right handed as no one in my town would teach me left handed. I also can play left handed after re-tuning my brain for about an hour or so, but now right comes more natural to me than leftie so I am stuck with the right handed playing.

You know those movies where a guy wakes up in a woman's body, or has swapped bodies with someone of a different race?

It would be great if all you normies woke up to find yourselves left handed. That would be amazing. It makes me smile just thinking of all the hilarious hijinks that would ensue.

In the end you'd all get switched back to righties, well not Dizzy, he'd be stuck as a lefty forever and have to purchase all new guitars. He'd be driving BP nuts every day trying to trade his wife for left handed models.

I'd play righty anyway. See, there's this wonderful thing called muscle memory

Hmm, ok you switch bodies with a guy whose hands got stuck in a meat grinder.

On a serious note, as we talked about in another thread, I had to make a serious change in my picking technique after an injury. Man, muscle memory is really tough to re-program.

Yeh but see that last pic....yeh we got that guy and he founded the metal sound so in your face, all the righty shred heads would be no where with out him
and we got Hendrix, Mcartney, Cobain....oh wait I see a trend, left handed guitarists are complete revolutionists and change the music scene forever. but they have to be from Seattle or England; so it looks like im next, just warning you EBMM should just give me a signature guitar now....

What about Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Angus Young, SRV, EVH...

You say in OUR face, but I could keep naming names of guitarists who I believe changed music forever and are righties. I'm not at all saying you're wrong. You're absolutely right about Hendrix, McCartney, Cobain, and Iommi, just they're not the only ones who changed music. Are they lefties? Yes. Does anyone care except for left handed players? No.
