I know most will be right, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

For me, despite being left handed I play right handed. Why? Cause I wouldn't have a hope in hell of forming a sime ple e minor chord with my right hand.

Well life is also easier as the choice of guitars are very limited for left handed players. Gary Moore, Mark Knopfler and Danny Gatton are also all left handed and play righty.

Im a lefty playin right handed. Not by choice though. When I got my first guitar for christmas years ago, my dad bought a right handed one, not knowing there was any difference. I didnt know there was any difference either, and it felt ok, so I stuck with right handed guitars :lol: :lol:

I actually knew a guy in high school who did that because he said it was easier for him to fret with his right hand since he was right handed... :roll:

I'm a lefty, playing right handed. Why? When I was growing up....I didn't have a guitar...guys I knew taught me and they were right handed....they taught me on their right handed guitars.......finally, and most importantly...because I could go anywhere, pick up anybody else's guitar and play (most people are right handed).

Yes. I can use either hand when writing etc...
My youngest son is also ambidextrous.
