Are you left-handed?

100% lefty

I'm lefty, but play righty. It's about the only thing I do right-handed.

same here, excepto I also use the PC's mouse with mi right hand.

I'm right handed playing left handed because I miss two fingers on my left hand. By the way, I think left hand bass players should not give in so easily and play right handed. The market has to feel a pressure if it is supposed to make more left hand instruments.

I'm a lefty playing right. My one big regret is that slapping is totally out for me. For some reason my rather un-coordinated right hand cannot handle what is required of it to slap. That's too bad cause I really like the sound.........Bud

 

[prizefighter]

Lefty playing righty!

A lefty who started out the gate playing righty slap was hard at the beginning. It's hard getting the right wrist to loosen up. Pick up a copy of "Stick Control" for drummers. The first couple of pages are two bar phrases of eighth notes with every combination of left and right. Assign one to your thumb and one to your pulling finger (I did my thumb as left). Groove on the two bar phrases starting at slower speeds and then as you become use to doing it the speed will increase. I am considered by others to be a pretty good slapper but it didn't start out that way.

Lefty playing right. And as every teacher I've had has said, "I never heard of a lefty piano!"

On the other hand, my bow grip for DB has always been a struggle for my right hand.

 

[dls59]

I'm lefty and play righty.

Not a very valid argument, considering I'm not a pianist.

 

[Marley's Ghost]

Say it loud, I'm lefty and proud!


this poll doesn't look too scientific to me.

Just funny because it seems the guitar and bass are the only instruments with lefty variants.

 

[Commreman]

I am left handed playing righty. When I started playing way back in the dark ages (mid '70's) left handed basses were rare, and expensive. I didn't know how to play on either side, so it didn't matter!

 

[Rebop]

...I didn't know how to play on either side, so it didn't matter!

Exactly what I thought when I started.

 

[Bulltrout]

Lefty, but I play right-handed. Couldn't find a left-handed instrument when I started.

Lefty playing righty...

 

[SurrenderMonkey]

Left playing right handed, for practical purposes.

The poll wont tell you much though. the thread is bound to appeal more to left handed players than right handed. However a poll about left handed players playing left or right would be more meaningful.

I was ambidextrous when I was younger, but eventually drifted towards right handedness.
