.... anyone else wonder?

And you've been staring at that picture of his left hand holding that drink up for how long now?

he he he

I'm ampidextrous...but not in the cool way where I can do anything with both hands.

Just that some things I do with my right and something I do with my left.

(this is not to meant to sound perverted so get your mind out of the gutter)

<font size="1">I use my right for THAT</font>

I use my left more often for masturbating.

I was born left handed but I chose to be right handed.

I selected right handed, though I fret with my left.

Anybody ever try playing guitar reversed?
And can you do it?

No I can't do it, but I used to jam with this guy who played Jimi style. (Guitar simply flipped over and not restrung with the Low E on top, but on the bottom) I swear sometimes I would get so wrapped up in the trippiness of it all I would lose all sense of what I should be playing. I found myself trying to figure out his hand positioning so I could go home and try it myself.

I ended up quitting my experiment rather quickly.

My buddy/bandmate plays like that. He's a lefty, and just uses a right hand guitar/bass strung right handed. Makes for a bit of confusion trying to teach/learn new songs.

I can play left handed drums. Not quite as well as I can play right, but I can certainly groove, do some sycnopated...man.


We should , sometime, have a "play everything backwards/upsidedown/inverted" sidefight.

That would be... that would require photo documentation.

And honesty, so I guess everyone who submitted to the ABBA sidefight are out... (kidding...kidding... in fact, I just needed a random collection of people to pick on to facilate amusing myself at this moment... )


..ah crap. That was supposed to be small type. Damn.

Left. Handed. Drumming. And. I'm . Not. Blue.

He plays in Loveshark and the Stoner Funk Orchestra, upside down bass style.

I am totally up for an inverted fight, btw.

That's a fact ladies and gentlemen. You end up looking at the neck of the guitar and feeling like you've never learned a thing.

They do that weekly, or at least I think some of the entries are done that way. They sound like it, or at least the bad songs do. Maybe it would be cool to do that intentionally. Photographic "evidence" wouldn't do though as that can be easily manipulated.

Yeah, me too except the kidding part. I watched that thread. And I wanted to and probably would have done something, but all the songs I wanted to do had been chosen. Now As I go back to the thread and wait to hear the songs, everyone is dropping out. Oh well, I'm sure there will be some good stuff to come out of it.

I'm left-handed, but I play right-handed, right-hand-strung guitar.

...and he's not the only lefty named Jim. So it's worse than you thought.

I suspected that because your avatar is standing on it's left leg.
