[:)] Ok that makes me relax, thx Anders! @Doit: I remember having posted about this andhere it is. When I had the first guitar in my hands it was my cousin's and of course righthanded. I remember playing "come as you are" in a "lefty" way. Its just easier. I mean, only because you do something with both hands, it doesnt mean that right and left are exchangeable. That would be only the case, if r and l would do exactly the same motions, and even then, I think most people have a "favorite" hand, which can change from motion to motion too. I prefer to cut with right for example. Maybe its the same thing for you, just with the guitar. But its hard to find out because you already adapted to righthand playing. You would have had to practise long time with a lefthanded guitar to be able to say something. I dont know how you started on guitar, whether you had the opportunity and time, to check if your getting better away lefthanded. Because I can imagine most kids or beginners, can be influenced by the environment in a bad way that they would have to do it righthanded. So due to the pressure, not because it is easier for them to play righthanded they start learning it. You have to check both to be sure. Hehe and yes, there are also some righthanded that play left, because it works better for them [;)] Its really something between you and your instrument. Theres nothing wrong playing lefthanded. There are disadvantages, but those have nothing to do with the lefthandedness itself. They are more a problem of economical and social reasons (acceptance) But the most important reason why I play lefthanded is (of course) because I am the re-incarnation of Hendrix, MCCartney and Kurt Cobain in one person!
