They're simply too powerful to be allowed in society. They must be stopped.

As for right-handed guitarists who invert their strings? You're not impressing me. I can play mandolin, too.

Anyone got the probability of a 4-piece band having 2 left-handed members?

[–] bunnygirl@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

with 4 people and a left handed rate of 0.1 (10%) that's a little under 5% for exactly two and a little over 5% for two or more

Plenty among the Tuareg musicians (who live in the deserts of Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Algeria and Libya). Some of them are part freedom fighters, part musicians.

Mdou Moctar says hi (in the video he’s playing a left-handed guitar, but he grew up playing a normal guitar upside down)

They're certainly cool, but I only see one left-handed player.

I've also known left-handed players who had to learn upside-down and then eventually switched to playing with their strings arranged normally.

Not all of them are left handed, just an unusually higher proportion than normal.
