I am ridiculously right handed. My left hand is completely stupid and won't
do anything it's told. I can barely even hold a pen in my left hand, let
alone write anything intelligible with it!
Which makes me think it's the reason I never got the hang of playing the
guitar - my fingers just won't move around on the strings quickly enough. I
basically have to concentrate on each finger one at a time in order to get
anything even approximating a normal chord. I know everyone will say
"Practise", but believe me, I've tried, and it just ain't gonna happen! I
suspect that's also the reason I struggled with the clarinet for 7 years,
before realising I was never going to be any good!
That being the case, I am seriously thinking about giving the trumpet a go -
I'm pretty sure only one hand has to work any keys, and I think it might be
the answer. I may even search out a few second-hand music stores while I'm
in the US, and see if I can find one cheap!
