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.

Eeeehhh kinda reminds me of Jeff Healey. Makes sense for bluegrass and open tunings.

Inverted like this? [CW: dentist guitar, danger to manifold]

I mean that kind of makes sense if you're using a Floyd Rose. But I'm talking about the high E string on top sort of inversion.

Yeah but there are tons of others playing all their chords backwards like they come from mirror world. It's just...uncanny

I know someone that does that. It's insane to watch them play chords.
