Prince was once quoted the following.....
"When it comes to plugs make sure you know the difference between 'BIT' and 'BUTT'....32 or 64 is gona hurt"

Prince is so small that his movement is influenced by subatomic forces when he is close to any super heavy elements

Prince's original stage name was King.

Left handed guitarists dont use restrung right handed guitars because theyre cheaper or easier to find. Its scientifically proven that right handed guitars sound better. I cant find the article right now, just take my word for it, i saw all the scientific mumbo jumbo.

Maybe it has to do with the left arm rotation providing stronger power chords than the right arm rotation due to the physiology of us former apes.

Could be. Side note, none of that applies to bass. Bass players are just cheaper and less determined to locate left handed basses.

Indeed. Rather than buy a Burberry bass, I cheaped out, bought a Burberry jacket, some non-fashion brand bass, and glued them together.

(Well, you did a good job on that imo. I remember seeing pictures you posted on another thread. The lines look straight and the whole thing appears smooth.)

Did you know that left drum sticks are stronger than right drum sticks? If youre powerhand is right, swap the drum sticks, youll get more use out of them before they break.

There are also special picks for left-hand guitar players that helps them out.

Thanks! I had no idea about this. I couldnt figure out why my playing seemed to go down hill lately. I was blaming it on my old body. Now i check and notice that the last fistfull of picks i bought were left-handed! I may have a few more years of strumming left in me, but i need glasses while pick shopping. *shake-fist*

I feel your pain. By mistake I installed the left-handed version of a synth and now all my notes are coming out with the little tails on the wrong side

The other mistake I do from time to time when I'm in a hurry at GC to purchase a cable or two, I check out a left-handed version. Inverse phase when I plug in the cable, sigh.

Yeah, that's pretty bad, but not as bad as the time I accidentally bought a left-handed bass amp. Every time I'd turn the volume up, it would get quieter!!!!

Someone should start a Show us your left handed studio pics thread.

Let's spread some musical misinformation
