Lefty or Righty?
 

are you left-handed or righthanded?

I'm a lefty, clearly in my right mind. :thumbsup:

BTW... I couldn't remember what you call it when you can write with both.. I'm sure some bright spark will be along in a sec with the answer...

With the exception of playing instruments, my left hand is practically a useless appendage. A three year old can write better, than I can with my left hand!

I write with my right hand, but I pick up stuff, etc. with my left. My right wrist is wayyyy weaker than my left and tires out easily. I wonder if I wasn't "supposed" to have been left handed sometimes. I've read many times that many more babies than most would think are born left handed, but routine teaching by routinely right-handed parents teaches a tendency to use the right hand, even if the left is the child's dominant.

Or something.

Ambidexterous (sp.) I'm a righty.

righty :thumbsup:

ambidextrous :wavey:

I almost went with option number 4, but I was born right-handed. ;)

Ambidextrous(sp).:rolleyes:


edit -:mad: :mad: :mad:

I'm blaming the Ledge being so slow, for my late response!:lol:

Ah... yes....Ambidextrous... I knew it was ambi-something! Couldn't be bothered to look it up either... hehe. Thanks guys!

Amberdextrous. I use neither very well.

:laugh:

I'm right. Always :laugh:

I'm right handed but can use my left a lot more now than before i started in dentistry.

I'm right-handed, though for drumming I, of course, use both quite well - but it was BITCH getting the left hand to catch up to and be as good as the right hand.

I still can't write with my left hand well...so for all intents and purposes I'm a righty.

These 'polls' are just getting too bizarre. What's your favourite colour must be due in a day or so!:laugh:

Wow, you're always right?! I thought I had a big ego....











:laugh: :wavey:

In reality, I am right handed and good with my left. For instance, I shoot baskets better left handed and I can shoot pool left handed. Don't write that well, though. Even though I used to practice a lot as a kid. Obviously, right handed kids are dumb. :laugh:

I don't remember the last time I did a poll! And I thought this one was quite a good one! :lol:

Edited to add: In fact... this is my first ever poll! Yay!

i'm a righty, but i'm pretty good with my left hand because of violin and percussion.

Left handed but have to use chop sticks with the right hand !

Oh, that's right, I forgot about my special handicap. Guess I really am amberdextrous.
Anyway, I can't move my hands separate from each other. I mean, they can't really do two different things at one time. I mean, shooting a basket or pool is two hands directed at one motion.

And then if I tried to get my legs involved doing even more things...well, I have no doubt disaster would ensue. Swear to god, that's why I had to quit band in highschool. Because you had to march, and I couldn't play and march. It's quite extroadinary considering my otherwise very high level of coordination. I'm like an idiot savant. Or just an idiot. Whatever, you should see me try to drum. Tragic. Actually me even trying to do the Gold n Braid dance is tragic.
That guy reminded me, I can use chopsticks left, too.

My ego inflates and deflates with appalling frequency, you caught me in a good moment :laugh: I don't do anything with my left hand, it has fallen into disuse due to the marvellous wonder that is my right hand :nod:

Is the left shriveled and smallened like the forlegs of a T-Rex? Cause that's how I'm imagining it.


My ego does the same thing. It's quite exciting.

I'm great with drums/percussion...guitar? Not so much - it's proving difficult for me to coordinate right and left and such...it's pissing me off actually.

I must say, it depends on what I'm doing. :nod: :laugh:

I write right handed. However, I bat switch. :p

it's definitely hard to learn a stringed instrument. it's difficult to get one hand to do melody and the other to do rhythm. when i was younger, with violin i would concentrate on getting the rhythms down with my right hand before adding the left hand, and now i do that with guitar, too.

I'm right handed but when I was in college, one of my drawing professors wanted to challenge me and had me do an in-class assignment with my left hand. I did very well and really liked the difference in my drawing style using my left hand.

And an excellent poll it is - you didn't use the word y'all once!

Just done a quick check here and the majority of engineers here are left handed - 8 out of 11.

No, my left hand is a magnificent specimen, not unlike my right, except that it's like a strange mirror image of it. My left hand will kick in when my right hand has worn out, which at the current rate of wear, will be in about 250 years :D

this whole post is cracking me up. wtf are you smoking? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hmm...I'm mostly having trouble with the whole changing chords thing. Can't seem to do it in any sort of timely manner. Of course I'm also expecting to be great in like the space of an hour - a recipe for furstration...

I'm trying to take it slower now. And I'm looking for some drums to buy as my left hand becomes weaker and weaker the longer I don't play.

Nothing :laugh: That is what my mind is naturally like :o

:laugh:

So you just use it to lift beers and drive, basically? I was really into that T-Rex image. sigh.

oh, chord changes. yeah. i practice those with a metronome, and first i set it to something really low, like 50 BPM or something. and i'll do C, C, G, G (or whatever chords you're practicing) with one chord per beat. and once i get it down at 50, i'll increase it just a little bit, to 54, then 58, etc etc. you don't need a metronome to do it, it's actually a lie to say i use mine, because it doesn't even have batteries right now. :laugh: but i start out slowly, making sure i can do it at a steady beat before speeding up at all.

I have a metronome...I think I'll try that. Though I'm still trying to master chords themselves :laugh: I'm seriously jumping the gun in trying to change chords and in turn play songs :laugh:

:laugh: Sorry about that, I live to disappoint :D

Seriously, just for beers and driving?

ha ha, I like that. :lol:

Actually, I guess I lift my beer with my right.. so, just driving then. Changing gear, I do that with my left, fiddle with the radio etc. Everything worth a damn is done with my right :nod:

Lefty pride! I can use my right hand for anything if I need to, though, so I guess that makes me ambidextrous?
