That's the great thing about Ringo - he took a little talent and turned it around to make it much more! The left-handed guy on a right-handed drumkit, the exploration of music through just a small number of chords. But, it's always seemed odd to me that he couldn't actually learn more guitar chords throughout the 60s. Saying that he only knew 3 chords on guitar; surely he could have learnt a few more than that. Seems curious to me.
And anyone noticed that the guys didn't seem so tall when they appeared in pictures with other people: Sir George (in the studio) or Peter Brown (in John's wedding) just two examples I remember now. There are videoclips of John... for example: at the beginning of Stand By Me clip John and Yoko entered the white limusine and the man besides them are taller than John (how big the limusine was!!)... if John, Paul and George were 5 11 the other men were 6 03 at least!!! I think John was about 5 08 and Paul and George about 5 09.
Cecil Wheeler?, Yoko Ono, John Lennon and Peter Brown (March 20, 1969) Yoko Ono, John Lennon and Peter Brown (same day) The Guys with Sir George (1963)
I think Ringo was about 5'6.5'' (169 cm), John about 5'8.5'' (174 cm), George about 5'9.25'' (176 cm) and Paul, clearly the tallest, about 5'10'' (178 cm).
So.. I think he's borned left handed, but forced to write with his right hand, like lefties were in those days! And that made him use his right hand some more..
My cousin is left handed, but she plays guitar righty. I think she may even bat righty too. I guess she's ambidexterous or however you spell it. But she can't write with her right hand at all. Maybe Ringo is similiar.
My cousin is a righty but he bats with his left and uses a hockey stick with his left. All sports things he does with his left. Apparently it's a genetic thing because all his father's relatives did the same thing.
You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.
wasn't there the same thing with Paul? In some footage taken in India 1967 where he plays the guitar with the right hand. Same case here, as Sandra said, I guess they are ambidexterous.

(he said it) ... but it's curious that his poses are right-handed, isn't it?
