The following musicians are left-handed or play guitar left-handed. But not all of them are naturally left-handed. Click one of the lines highlighted in red below, and in the right column you'll discover which guitarists play with proper left-handed stringing or with the strings upside down (i.e., keeping the right-handed stringing), or which lefty players are in fact right-handed! To find out the reasons behind it all, read the book UNCOMMON SOUND!
