In the spirit of all the other "clubs" that are showing up on TB (i.e., the MIM and MIA Fender clubs, etc.), I've decided to revive one I started back in my high school days - the Lefty Union!
All left-handed, ambidextrous, and forced-to-be-righty bass players, guitar players, drummers, and anyone else that's a lefty are encouraged to join!
I've already got one other member besides myself!
Send me a PM if you'd like to join, or simply post here if you're interested!
Also, post your thoughts, if any.  |

I'm still pretty good with my left at ping-pong, and it was always steadier than my right when I played the piano, and it would learn faster too. Can I join? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Kansas City, MO | | I'm a lefty at everything, and I play only lefty basses. Let's do this!
When I was a guitar student, a couple of teachers made me play righty, but I'd switch the strings as soon as the course would end, then I'd quickly re-learn everything the way God intended.
Wonder if someone can make a left-handed version of this smiley?
