A very wise decision, be it conscious or not. I always advice my (guitar) pupils to play right-handed and to be normal like the rest of the world. I'm the exception, I keep telling them. Somehow it doesn't register, as many want to play left-handed; it appears to be part of their personalities, they 'are' left-handed - never touched a guitar before - so they must play left-handed. Stuff and non-sense, you need both hands. Alas, they don't listen to me. > Perhaps I am ambidextrous to some degree, Aren't we all?
