What do you make of this?

DISCUSSION

My brain is ass backward with some things.

My brother is a drummer and guitarist, also playes trumbone. My mom playes flute, my dad played guitar, my cousin played French horn, my aunt played trumpet exetera. I myself play guitar electric acoustic and classical also dabble in bass and ukulele.

But my dad has said when I was a baby I'd bob my head to the rythems of rock music. My older cousin also said I'd hit my knee to the rythems of classical music.

My mom had said that when I was in pre school I wrote with my left hand but when I was in grade school I switched to my right, (I am right handed to this day, but I try to play my instruments with my left from time to time.)

But when I play guitar, bass exetera I technically hold my instruments wrong, I usually play right handed right soo usually if a guitarist is right handed they rest their guitar on their right leg but I rest mine on my left, I play better and smoother with it on my left leg more so than my right. Thus pointing back to my earlier years in life when I wrote left handed but switched to my right.

And vice versa, if I play left handed I have my instrument on my right leg 😂. I've only seen one other person hold their instrument like I do, some YouTuber.

What do you make of that as a guitarist?
