I frequently see posts from left-handed folks wondering if they should learn to play guitar right-handed. I don’t want to argue which is better, simply want to illustrate that it’s super common to do just that. Obviously some folks feel hand dominance much more strongly than others, and switching to righty just isn’t workable. But anyway, here’s a list of famous players who’ve done it.
Disclaimers: I have a couple names here with question marks, otherwise I’m reasonably sure these can all be verified one way or another. Mostly because there is proof of them signing with their left hand or they’ve self-identified as left-handed. But this list can’t account for those who may be left-hand-dominant but were taught to write right-handed, and haven’t discussed that in interviews etc.
Who’s missing? I suspect that if a true accounting were possible, there would be many, many more examples, probably more reflective of the world’s total percentage of left-handed people.
