Right handed, right leg. Playing a blues in classical position just doesn’t feel right to me.

However, when I finger pick I only use thumb and index -and someone once suggested that it was because I'm left handed -who knows?
My grandson likes to go down and play guitar with me. Of course he can't play guitar, but he thinks he can. But he plays a baritone ukulele because he knows it sounds more like a guitar and he just naturally plays it right handed. Does it really make a difference? One hand learns to do one thing, the other something different. Keeping with the thread, he has it on his right leg.
