I actually didn't write the list so perhaps I should have applied the same standards that I set my students

Why is it that for right handed guitarists the most complex stuff is done with the left hand?


Did y'all know there are left-handed pencils?

Yes, indeed, we righties, holding a pencil, can read what is inscribed on it. For lefties, the words are upside down, so they made pencils with the inscription the other way.

I'm totally left handed , but you are so right. My grandmother was from Germany and during "those days" it was seen as un-pure to be left handed. Her mother forced her to be a righty, and when I was born and started showing signs of being a lefty she made sure I was and that no one tried changing that and I should be proud to be left handed. Crazy huh.

Yaaaaaay lefties!!!!!! Clap emoticon
