You are what you choose to be. I'm a guitar player too. I can write with both hands but I've been using my right hand since childhood so I prefer that. I am left-eyed when I do photography and I use the knife, screw-driver with my left-hand but use the right for using scissors.

Piano players do require a great deal of ambi-dexterity (I play the keyboards). The left hand is solely for harmonies and the righ is for melodies. So I guess it all comes down to what you choose to be.

I can say that I'm right handed simply because I write right-handed, but I know I'm cross-dominated because I can do a lot of other activities equally good with both hands (throwing, catching etc.)

So its upto you to choose.
