And then you have guitarists like Eric Gales, who is actually right handed, but flips right handed guitars over and plays them left handed.
There are no left handed pianos...
Availability is so much better for right handed guitars...
I didn't know this such a mystery. Left handed guitarists play left handed guitars because they are left handed.
fun fact: michael angelo batio is a lefty who plays right handed guitars, got bored one day and decided to be ambidextrous and write terrible music.
He's mostly playing the lefty side...but IMO things are a lot more interesting once he's playing the RH guitar RH near the 4 min mark.
MAB's technical skills are off the chart. He's like using a jackhammer to open a bag of potato crisps. So much potential and so much power, but only seemingly used to quickly mash a bunch of tasteless junk in an undeniably over-the-top display of theatrics. On some level, I love it, but generally, I find it difficult to take in large quantities. I mean, the above video, is like "Whoah! ... Wow! ... hmmm, wow, that's cool... okay, kind of abrasively repetitive..., man...that's tough to pull off, but why... this is difficult to watch." And it's not even his original music - the thing is that I think most of us really wanted to like MAB, but the whole schtick just didn't resonate with people.
On the other hand (I made a pun, haha), you also have Douchebag Maestro Alex Gregory - who's like you took Yngwie, got him drunk off his ass, then set his EQ to T+10 M-10 B+10 Gain +11 (IMO, DMAG has one or two moments where he has cool ideas, but his attitude is more than enough to negate those few moments). Anyone who rags too much on MAB should be threatened with having to endure a few minutes of DMAG.![]()
