I'm not trying to prove anything, I was asking a question about why this and is it a hardwired system within us to have a dominant side.
That's more the question, not reall asking about how the beats go.

So again I'm proving nothing and my questions abound.

And I'm trying to stimulate this into a serious discussion

It took me a couple of rounds to get it nice and clean leading with my left hand, but once I got it I got it.

Practice can overcome many things.

it's really a meaningless question better served by perusing a medical text. humans have dominant sides.this is just a fact related to brain devlopment. this dominance can be compensated for by practice. simple and nothing more to be said about it.

i sense this is probably all related to the fact that you are noticing a lack in your playing and are wondering why. the answer is you. more practice. closer attention to detail. And acceptance and then isolation of the perceived weakness.
it doesn't matter how other people experience it. you are still stuck with yourself and need to do whatever it takes to fix what troubles you.

if i'm barking up the wrong tree here, apologies, but thats how i read it.

Its hard to get past your first sentence about how this is all meaninglesss.

That is your opinion, since you suggested a medical pro answer the question
I don't see you as the expert that would know this is meaninglesss.

And my experience with tells me you enjoy making me wrong
Like when I posted the blues and you gave me uhm, advise.
I remember all those posts of yours. Really ruined your credibility with me.

Call it making the bed you have to sleep in.

I've come across this subject tangentially in casual reading over the years. It's interesting, but I haven't been motivated to really look into it. The gist I get is that the human brain is supremely adaptable and will pretty much figure out how to move you toward any goal you choose. You can't change things like the shape of your skeleton (not by sheer will anyway LOL) but you can literally rewire your brain do things like even sticking with L/R hands, even if one starts much more adept.

There is a book that is hot right now called The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains that talks a lot about how neural networks are malleable to the tasks given the body and brain. Of course, that part is all a setup for an entreaty to stop spending all day on TGP : )
