I totally agree, although according to some people certain 'fingerpicking' styles are harder for lefties to play on a righthanded guitar,I know it is for me but I dont really practice at it, I'm pretty happy picking with two or three fingers on a guitar. For bass it does also seem more logical to me to play a righthanded bass, its my left hand that does all the 'intelligent' work.

Interesting quote from 'Lefthanded' in Wikipedia:

'Left-handed people, by contrast, are capable and comfortable switching between tasks. This makes them appear (to the right-handed majority) as if they do not finish anything.'

To be honest I don't even know if I'm left or right handed. I play right handed and I write right handed, but some things I just can't do right handed and have to do left handed.

Me confused...

About one third of the population is completely right-handed.
About one third of the population is completely left-handed.
The remaining third of the population is neither left- or right-handed, but are tought to majorly use the right hand.

Approximately 8 to 15% of the adult population is left-handed.[1] Studies indicate that left-handedness is more common in males than females.[2] Left-handedness, in comparison to the general population, also appears to occur more frequently in identical twins,[3] and several groups of neurologically disordered individuals (epilepsy,[4] Down's Syndrome,[5] autism,[6] mental retardation,[7], dyslexia, etc.) Statistically, the identical twin of a left-handed person has a 76% chance of being left-handed, identifying the cause(s) as partly genetic and partly environmental.[8]
