Question

....edit V-nus...you crackme up.. I love all your answers especially Heather..

Answer 1

I really don't know since....hard question

Jimi Hendrix was left-handed....

However Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughn & Eric Clapton are right handed...

Answer 2

Honestly, it's been my observation that left handed people typically have more aptitude with guitar.

Most ot the guitarists that I know are left handed.

Answer 3

it doesn't matter about lefty or righty. it matters about how much talent you have and how much practice and dedication you put into it. , SRV: Right handed, Eddie van Halen: right handed, Slash: right handed,  Eric clapton: rigth handed, Chuck berry: right handed, Carlos santana: Right handed, stevie vai: right handed, buddy guy: right handed, neil young: right handed, Randy rhoads: right handed. then you've got, Jimi hendrix: lefty, Kurt cobain: lefty, B.B king: lefty, Paul Mccartney:lefty, Freddy murcury: lefty, al anderson: lefty, d**k dale: lefty, Glenn frey:lefty, Tony Iommi: lefty.

Whether you where born lefty or righty. it's not whether left can play better than right it's "i've got talent and i'm gonna give it 200%".

Answer 4

I don't think it really matters. Typically, the musicians have their guitars built to their specific requirements. That way, they get the best possible sound.

Answer 5

Jimmy hendrix was and Paul Mc Cartney still is a left handed Guitar player. So is Glen Frey (The Eagles), and Paul Simon (Simon and Garfunkel). Not to mention that all the muppets, including Kermit play stringed instruments left handed. There are lists and lists of many of them that are famous. I think they are just as good, if not better. They have made more money than I will ever see! That is for sure! SMOOCHES!

Answer 6

Doesn't matter....I am left-handed and stupid me learnt right-handed.

I thought at the time that I wouldn't find music for left handed people . Imagine ???

I do a lot of Studio Session and it's like telling me that a lift-handed pianist plays better than a right-handed.

You have it or you don't ....end of story.

Answer 7

Left handed people think with the creative part of their brain. So, it really depends. Right handed people usually have the technique down better, but left handed people play with more soul. That's why a lot of famous guitarists are left handed - not because they were necessarily amazing at guitar, but they put the most of themselves into the playing and made people feel something.

Answer 8

What is the difference even if you have a 3rd hand. Some people have 2 good hands and can't even play.
