Here's my view, often stated: It's not that it necessarily helps but being left-handed (like Christine) certainly affects one's style & one's sound. Christine's I-V shuffle in the left hand is more metronomic & more precise than a lot of other piano players who have played all those FM shuffles. I think that's due to two reasons: her being left-handed & her playing music with Mick Fleetwood for so many years.

My view of christine's chops is that she is not highly gifted or remarkably agile but that she has enormous personal style within her limited technique -- she is recognizable. In that sense, Christine is to other rock & blues pianists as Lindsey is to other rock & blues guitarists & Mick is to other rock & blues drummers.

Interesting. thank you
