Cosmo Valdemar Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 I've seen a couple of Paul McCartney impersonators play bass left-handed then switch to a right-handed guitar for Blackbird 😄 Quote
Steve Browning Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 I often change to cack-handed during a gig. 2 Quote
PaulWarning Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 I have enough trouble playing only left handed 🙂, John Otway plays both left and right handed guitar https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=358951982112502 1 Quote
Newfoundfreedom Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 I'm an ambidextrous bass player. Absolutely crap with both hands. 3 Quote

No video edit, you can see the switch at 2:34 There are other videos of Karl playing bass with Nina dotted around youtube, but I don't know if he does the switch in those 1 Quote

Muzz Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Not during a gig, but there's a very talented chap comes to the jam night who plays guitar (and bass) left handed, but if no-one's brought a LH bass, he just takes mine and flips it over. Gives me a mild panic attack watching him... 😐 Quote
iamtheelvy Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 I couldn’t possibly play anything competently left-handed, but have on rare occasion switched to LH when a hint is needed that a song we are playing may be a bit dull… Quote
police squad Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 It's something I was going to learn do to. To see if I could play differently but in the end I couldn't really be bothered with it 1 Quote

In the end it seemed like too much effort. Quote
Woodinblack Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 I tried last night, figured it wouldnt be too hard, turns out it is! Quote
