I Samuel 16:16c-19 ..seek out a man who is a cunning player on an harp and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well. And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me. Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him. Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.
King David was a proficient harpist. That seems involve both hands but in the first clip you can see that the left hand is doing more damping than the right. Nevertheless that king spurned his walk with The L
ORD preferring dreamboat eyes over God. Even so, God loved David so killed his son and let him marry Bathsheba. Oh, yes - David had her previous husband killed otherwise she would have had two husbands which is just ridiculous! Here are the two clips.

harpsichords. This style of writing was different from how music is generally done now. A composer would write out the left hand only but include a guide to what was intended for the right hand. A performer would follow that guide (like a guitarist following some chords but making up a melody for the high strings using whatever notes were in the chord) and this piece illustrates that quite well. The left hand is playing the written part but the right hand is doing all the work.
That is not wilfully preferring the left hand. A left-handed guitar was mentioned. These are not necessary for left handed persons to play. Perhaps Alex could get the uncle to have a look at Albert King who did not insist on left-handed guitars?
Cadillac Assembly Line shows some of the guitars he used.

God tells us that not only is it important to abstain from evil but also from the appearance of evil. We need to consider how another person would interpret our actions so, in one instance, God suggests that if eating roast beef or game pie would entice certain types away from The Truth to not eat that when they're looking. Isn't that just like God? Everything up front, right there in the open, sound advice every time. He really does care how our witness affects others and covers every contingency.
I Thessalonians 5: 21b-23a Hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil and the very God of peace sanctify you wholly.
