Yes, Paul is in fact left handed: He plays guitar and writes right handed, but does everything else left handed.

Eddie said that Paul was called Lefty when he played baseball as a kid.

As Paul writes with his right hand he is right handed, but really he is more ambidextrous because he plays sports left handed.

I think in that time you just had no other chance than to learn writting with your right hand - the teachers told you so.

And for guitar playing: Well all guitars are mainly build and stringed for right-handed people, so when you start learning most of the time you first have a right handed guitar.

If I remember right also Mark Knopfler is left-handed and plays the guitar with his right hand, but he has developed a special style with this "handicap"


I am left handed too. I write and eat with my left hand, but play guitar and all sports with my right hand. In fact, I even think it is easier to play the guitar this way, with your left hand on the fretboard (or the other way round, with your right(first) hand on the fretboard).

When you play guitar left-handed, like I do, you can never play anyone else´s guitar. And it is difficult to even find true left-handed guitars, my first few were re-strung. So it is no Surprise that PS would have learned to play right-handed.
