I was looking at the new photos they posted from the Hootenanny for Health in the Gulf. I noticed Mike was signing some posters with his left hand. But we obviously know he plays guitar right in the right handed style.

    Ambidextrous? Just something that would make Mike even more awesome!
    Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire?

    I'll not lose my faith, it's an inside job today

    St. Louis 5/4/10 Hope for many more!

    i eat, write and brush my teeth left handed... everything else like sports is all right handed... i dont consider myself ambidextrous
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

    Maybe he is just gently with his thrashing hand and signs, picks his nose and wipes his butt with the other hand.

    ...
    I asked him about that... He said it just felt more comfortable to play guitar right handed and his first guitar was a regular. He said he throws right handed, too and is pretty much ambidexterous.
    Chris Shiflett of the Foo Fighters is the same way... writes left, plays guitar right. He said it was because of his first guitar. And said he was glad because there are more regular guitars than lefties out there.
    ...
    I wish I'd learn to play right handed... Chris is right, the only lefties at Guitar Center are the cheap ones. You never have a Martin or Taylor to play and are limited to the 199 dollar Fender and some cheap Yamaha.

    lefties usually play guitar righty...this is mainly because lefty guitars are in very low demand and thusly hard to find. lefty guitars sometimes even cost more, which i never understood, simply because it's the same exact material, just reverse shape. IT'S DISCRIMINATION I TELL YA!


    anywho, yeah a lot of lefties play righty because it's just easier and they don't have to hassle with finding lefty guitars.

    my brother is a lefty and he learned righty for that very reason.

    it's either that or you can go the Jimmy Hendrix route

    I'm definitely righty, I can't write worth shit with my left hand or bat lefty, but I do dribble a basketball with my left hand better and I tend to pick up a guitar as a lefty.
