Left-Handed Guitarists
Post your left-handed guitarists. This includes bassists as well. These people are anomalies and deserve some credit. (Videos of left-handed players playing preferred but not required.
The obvious post Jimi Hendrix The not-so-obvious post Mdou Moctar

How about a left-handed drummer, Rod Morganstein of the Dixie Dregs (and also an abysmal unnamed hair-metal band that pays the bills)

Here's two upside-down lefty's;
Larry Williams; Dick Dale; As a lefty myself I started out like this on my dads acoustic when I was a kid and rarely play upside down now but dam how these guys have mastered it, guess they were sick of only seeing right handed bass and guitar models Don't blame em

^ Dick Dale was the first one I thought of. I've seen him 6 times over the past 23 years and he always puts on a great show. He likes those strings heavy and those amps turned up!
I've also seen Doyle Bramhall II a couple of times. Like Dick Dale, he plays the guitar with the strings upside-down and also like Dick Dale, he likes those amps turned up LOUD!... And I can't forget the late, great, Elizabeth Cotten. Like Dick Dale and Doyle Bramhall II, she also played with the strings upside-down... |

Nice, I love Cotton's stuff, forgot she did it upside down.
@Paul I would say drums are more ambidextrous than stringed instruments since you can just move the placement of the drums according to what you need.
