I've been mulling this over for a while now. Statistically speaking, there are more right-handers than left handers, yet more people use their right hand for picking than fretting. Why do you think that is? If I could go back in time and talk to myself, first I'd slap myself in the head for going with the flow, and then I would have bought a "left handed" guitar cause my right hand is just stronger and more coordinated all the way around - given I'm right-handed.

Hmm this is interesting as I seen left handed people playing right handed guitars and claiming its more natural for them to play like that.
To me its logical to use right hand (more developed one) for picking/fingerpicking. I kinda find that picking part harder and more force/control demanding then left hands fretting. I get that for beginners fretting can be harder then picking at first but I'm not sure in the long run its worth using "more developed hand" for fretting rather then picking tasks. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Perhaps the guy who invented the guitar was actually a left-handed man, but constructed it for right-handed people

The left brain, the math, science, logic, hemisphere, controls the right hand.
The right brain, the expressive whining emotional wreck hemisphere, controls the left hand. Which hemisphere would YOU want to be in charge of strumming on time over and over during early exercises? The left hemisphere loves that kind of repetitive crap and is a perfect gamma-moron for the job. It's not backwards, promise -------------------- ::jafomatic

AFAIK whilst there is an asymmetry wrt which side of the brain controls which part of the body I don't think many (if indeed any) neuroscientists would ascribe to the left brain (rational, calculative) right brain (feeling, emotional) dichotomy. Most regard it as a popular myth.

So left handed players will never be as creative as right handed players? As Buzz has said, it's not quite as cut and dried as that. Also you have that entirely backwards. Left handed people often end up in the more creative professions. -------------------- ::jafomatic
