If all stringed instruments were designed to be fretted with the right hand, would we be opposed to guitarists playing right handed? It's more about practicality than some strawman debate about lefties being persecuted. When I went to my local guitar shop last week, I don't think I saw a single left handed instrument in stock.

The answer is clear: If you yell, "Should a lefty start out on a left handed guitar?" in a crowded forum you'll get the same panic as if you shouted, "GRENADE!"
And this from a lefty. What is it about the subject that we can't let go? By the way, my spellchecker passes "lefty" but won't pass any spelling of "righty." Interesting. Bob

This is different. Since I'm fortunate enough to play right-handed, the source of my indignation comes from teaching. My position is that if you take money to teach someone a musical instrument, it's your job to make every reasonable accommodation to make sure they can and will learn. To tell a left-handed student who's tried but can't adapt to playing right-handed to go away and "come back when you're ready to start putting in the work to learn guitar" is appalling to me. Yet I've read those words in similar threads in the past. Anyway, I agree with everyone else who's gotten tired of this thread that it's time to move on. But the reason these threads spiral on and on and on is that there are, in essence, some irreconcilable positions being expressed. whm |

I never post anything on a forum until I read up to the current point. If someone has already made a similar point then I don't usually double down. Did you have a point you'd like to clarify about your comment? |

Impassioned as I am on this topic, I think we need to remain cordial to one another.
