One handed ambidextrousity?

[masterofthebass]

regardless, its more natural for right handed people to be more dexterous with their left hand. Just look at any string instrument player.

Right-handed OH calls for z rotation in my book: ring finger for U and U' (and U2 likewise) and index finger for R, R' and R2 likewise.

Has anyone here heard of mirroring algorithms?

^^ nice little tool for it

Yes, you guys are right, I'm completely retarded and ignorant on subjects such as these.

Well, that's not true. No need to act like that. I didn't mean to **** you off, but Chester was right. Your information was misleading.

If you are a total newb to the one-handed business, then for righties the right hand will be faster. But as you progress, most people are too lazy to learn new algorithms for their right hands. Therefore, most use the left hand and sacrifice a little speed that will probably be overcome with a little more practice.

Erik is fast using either hand.

Use which hand you want. I originally used my right hand for OH because it was my dominant hand; however, after practicing 2H, my right hand would get too tired for OH, so I switched to left hand OH.

Me. I use my right hand for OH and do stuff like L' U L' U' L' U' L' U L L2, or L' U' L U L F' L2 U L U L' U' L F.

Err... maybe I'm a noob (I do rarely practice OH, actually)... but have you ever seen a guitar (or any stringed instrument) player?
What hand do they use to simply strum? What hand do they fret on?

Precisely, the left hand does much more work than the right. This is because for most people, your non-dominant hand is more flexible, which is needed for OH.

We're not lazy and no speed is sacrificed.

EDIT: whoops. Dan already said the same thing.
