This is how a guitar is strung for a right handed player. Also Faul is fingering what looks to be an open "A" chord, or it's variation, an "A7" chord. Open A would fit in with a lot of Beatles music which was in or near the key of "C".

Yet, I had a girlfriend in elementary school who could blink both of her eyes--try as I might, I could never do it! In the video in which the Beatles are doing Shakespeare, at one point Paul blinks both of his eyes--my view of that ability is--you have to be born being able to do that, you can't learn it--and there is such a thing as ambidexterity, but that's not all that good of news for those who can do everything with both hands, according to this article I read online--in it they explain that being double-handed has downsides such as lower general intelligence test results, and they are more likely to possess the "LRRTM1" gene which is linked to schizophrenia, as is found in lefties as well--since both hemispheres of their[ambies & lefties] brains are more closely linked to one another than with righties, it has a tendency to affect their emotional stability, and they can more easily be coerced into doing something--righties, however, were the hardest ones to influence, according to this article--but, here's the odd thing about this very interesting article: it lists Paul McCartney in with the ambidextrous, in this last paragraph:<br /><br />"11. It’s not all bad news for the handedness-ambivalent, though. Being able to use both hands with (almost) equal ease can really pay off, especially in sports, arts and music. Some reportedly cross-dominant celebrities and historic figures include Leonardo da Vinci, Pete Rose, Richard Feynmen, pitcher Greg A. Harris, Michelle Kwan, Shigeru Miyamoto, Paul McCartney, Benjamin Franklin and Harry Truman."<br /><br /> http://mentalfloss.com/article/30667/11-facts-about-ambidextrous<br /><br />I am not sure, but Paul wasn't known to be ambidextrous was he? If not, maybe they've mixed 'f'aul up with Paul, due to 'f'aul's right-handedness, because of the times 'f'aul has mistakenly used the wrong hand with which to do something, then suddenly switched to his left--Or--<br /><br />OR, he may very well be an ambie, which would help explain why he was able to learn to play left-handed so seemingly easily. <br /><br />There may not be any proof that we don't choose which hand is dominant for us, but are, instead, born favoring one over the other--however, I think those researchers who still claim they can't tell if it's learned, or we're born with a proclivity for one over the other. aren't really paying close enough attention. Most of us could no more use our left hand to write with, than we could jump from here to the moon! Our ability is something we just seem to be born with, it's not a learning thing.{When I was 6, I thought I could write equally well with both hands--until I broke my right wrist, so had to try writing with my left hand--no one was more surprised, when I couldn't control the pencil, than I was! :) }Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220042226781569669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838291459749552361.post-73623508619219007742016-06-01T00:54:33.561-07:002016-06-01T00:54:33.561-07:00As a musician this one is very tough to imagine.

It's a huge amount of work, no serious guitar or bassist is really known to play with either hand. It's an incredible feat if "Faul" suddenly went from right to left. It takes years to get to be able to play with your dominant hand. People don't just up and switch. It would take months and months at least of steady hard work. Beatles music is incredibly complicated.DGPhelpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251983183310775378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838291459749552361.post-64063074587633860102016-05-12T14:31:03.841-07:002016-05-12T14:31:03.841-07:00I am a left-handed person, I play the guitar as a ...I am a left-handed person, I play the guitar as a lefty, but the violin as a righty. The fact is that it's way harder to reverse a violin properly compared to a guitare (you can't just reverse the strings). So I'm not that shocked by Paul playing a right-handed violin, as I'm not when he's using right-handed guitars. When you are left-handed among right-handed musicians, it's frustrating to not be able to play their instruments, so you accomodate even if it's not as natural as the way you would play your own instruments.<br /><br />vvvAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838291459749552361.post-91547954549058517862015-12-30T12:01:45.627-08:002015-12-30T12:01:45.627-08:00There was no left handed Martin D-28 used by The B...There was no left handed Martin D-28 used by The Beatles, so any clips or photos of Paul/Faul playing a Martin acoustic "right handed" must be inverted.

I'm 52-years-old, and I've been a die-hard Beatles fan since I was 6-years-old. I'm also "very" right-handed, but I do, at times do things with my left hand, like hold my cigarette! But let's think of some more aspects to this: I've always been one who said "There's The Beatles, then there's everyone else (musically speaking)! (With the exception there, of Buddy Holly - the real "King" of Rock, but that's another subject!) But really, such extraordinary talent as The Beatles were, and such unbeatable song writing of Lennon/McCartney team, and they could quickly, and easily, replace such a talent as Paul McCartney with not only a look-a-like, but also one possessing the same talent? And while, yes. they all had great hits post-Beatles, who had the most hits? While nothing can beat the talent of those 4 together, for one to have such an outstanding career after the break-up; and then that one a supposed 'fake' Paul McCartney? I may be, well I am, very biased here, in being such a Beatles fan, but I just can't buy the Paul is dead (and has been since 1966 - or whenever) rumors! From a talent point of view, I can't see such a talent being replaced with an equal! Felix Turner III, Duncan, S.C. (felixlt3@charter.net) (I guess when I started wearing my hair like Paul on the "Let It Be" album, when I was 13 - and still do - some would say it's "Faul's" hairstyle!?)

What are the chances that a random person who happens to look at least 90 percent like one of the great songwriters in human history is also a great songwriter? Granted Wings and his solo work aren't quite up to Beatles standards, but neither was Lennon aside from Imagine. Great music, but not Beatles quality (nobody could possibly match or improve upon them anyway).

I say this as, by this point ('67) the hairline has gone right. This means that the photo had to be flipped sideways to give the illusion that Paul were still alive - at least in print. Much easier would have been to flip the film of him playing his guitar in this scene. This would have killed two birds with one stone: first, giving a bit of mis-information to Paul's 'truthers to give them a black eye; and secondly, to facilitate the extracting of a photograph for the same.<br />As for the Penny Lane clip,look carefully - you'll see that it isn't Faul who is accepting it right-handedly, it's the rennaisance man who is handing it to Faul. See, as the scene progresses, how Faul corrects the handing over of the guitar to the left-handed position . Faul tries to accept it left-handed(with his right hand on the neck, and his left hand below the instrument), but the garcon moves it to the right-handed stance, which Faul has to correct by pushing the neck over to his right with his left hand.<br />The photo that appears immediate after is a mirrored photo taken from the film just discussed. All you have to do is match up the positions of the table, cups and saucer, candles and Faul & George. Just freeze the Penny Lane video at about mid-point and you'll see.<br />This photo flipping wasn't uncommon in the 60's as it was often mistakenly done. In just the publications I've owned or read in my lifetime from that time period (from the early 50s to the 70's) many articles where the photo was flipped - I believe this not to be intentional so much as inadvertent as the means of reproduction were often stored and retrieved l/r backwards. This, usually, occurred to slides or isolated frames from 35mm photos that aren't so easily discerned for their lack of differentiation of right to left.Dean from Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02562666725747949242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838291459749552361.post-1899209176386909122012-09-11T14:35:15.063-07:002012-09-11T14:35:15.063-07:00I'm not disagreeing with the "Faul" ...I'm not disagreeing with the "Faul" theory, but I have to mention that the third picture down, the older faul holding up the bass with his left hand, IS a left handed bass. Yes he's holding the neck to the left of his head with his left hand, but look at the strap over his right shoulder. If it was a right handed bass, his strap would be on his left shoulder, with the opposite end of the strap under his right armpit. Also notice the volume knobs. They are located left of the strings. If he was to play the bass right handed, the knobs would be to the right of the strings, or down. While I get your article and have proof with the videos, that single picture is correctly showing a left handed bass that he is holding across his body. If he were to let go, the neck would fall to the right of his body.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838291459749552361.post-24947959293449374922012-09-07T18:32:12.856-07:002012-09-07T18:32:12.856-07:00Mr. Zizzy is correct.
