I Want To Know Your Hand (-edness): on the roles of the left versus right hands in playing musical instruments (by way of the Beatles)

An analysis of the handedness of the four members of the British rock band The Beatles is presented. Implications for the roles of the left and right hands in the playing of different musical instruments, for the roles of the left versus right hemispheres in song writing, and for the Beatle's legacy in popular culture are discussed.

Abstract

An analysis of the handedness of the four members of the British rock band The Beatles is presented. Implications for the roles of the left and right hands in the playing of different musical instruments, for the roles of the left versus right hemispheres in song writing, and for the Beatle's legacy in popular culture are discussed.
