Close call between Iommi and Hendrix, but I have to stick with Jimi.

[polishdog90]

Jimi is my favorite guitarist regardless of hand preference.

[My name is Fez]

I'd probably go with Iommi, who barely edges out Jimi.

Although I think these two will be the popular choices.

[Hungryfreak]

Jimi is always my favorite user of the left hand path.

[Teh_Jakester]

Kurt Cobain. His riffs are excellent, usually (Smells Like Teen Spirit is the obvious exception).

[franticfish]

My Avatar, shortly followed by Hendrix.

what defines a left handed guitarist?

Jimi Hendrix strung his guitar as a left handed guitar but I believe had been seen writing with his right hand. He strung the guitar that way because he wanted his dominant hand fretting because that was where the most complex motions were. It also created an interesting effect because of the pickup misalignment.

Other guitarists were left handed but played right handed guitars, like Joe Strummer and Toni Iommi.

my vote goes to hendrix

[Soror_YZBL]

Dick Dale played left handed, but the guitar was strung for a righty. he just played it upside down and backwards.

[afterstasis]

dick dale and hendrix.

Are you sure about that? I had always heard that Jimi played left handed, but played right handed guitars upside down, and I'm positive Iommi played lefty.

Anyway, Iommi is my choice.

[SlowHandClapton]

Hendrix

[DarkSide247]

Robert Fripp, if he counts.

[Insane3]

Tony Iommi
No one else even comes close.

No, that's not even close to true, lol! No, seriously, he's good. But my vote goes to Hendrix, though I know I'm completely not being original.

[GNRrockslife]

Dick Dale or Tony Iommi. I suppose Dick Dale would get the winning edge for playing without restringing it for a lefty, but Tony is just too damn cool.

[Hurdy_Gurdy]

Jimi Hendrix of course.

[dingdow]

Tony and Jimi are both outstanding!!!!
I have seen Tonyat the Black and Blue concert 1977 (Black Sabbeth and Blue Oyster Cult) What a great show, both bands were jamin together for about 20 mminutes!!!

I was in Vietnam when Jini died, so I missed him. - Sailorman

[GwannaSauna]

That kid from Deliverance. jk :D

Probably Lemmy from Motorhead (is he left-handed?) or Tony Iommi

[Bub]

Hendrix easily. Although Tony Iommi and Kurt Cobain also come to mind.

[Skittles]

geez, everyones saying Hendrix
of course thats the same thing for me =/
so Jimi Hendrix
but Tony Iommi is second in line to me

[iWargasm]

Tony Iommi
No one else even comes close.

+1

[DedicatedToRock]

[SevinWoohoo]

Dick Dale, I guess. Him, Jimi, Tony, And Kurt are the only left handed guitarists I know of that I listen to. There's probably more but I don't know.

[a21schizoidman]

everyone underestimates the legendary southpaw bluesman on the flying v

I play Golf and Hockey left-handed, but play Baseball, Basketball, and throw Discus and Shotput righty. So I wouldn't completely rule Jimi being a lefty out.

[Flux_1]

My Favorite Left Handed Guitarist and the best after Hendrix is Tony Iommi

[Oscuro]

You're all nuts - Billy Ray Cyrus takes the prize. Nothin can't beat the combination of a GIbson Jumbo and a badass mullet.

Just kidding. Hendrix hands down. Iommi is badass too, and he was missing half of his fret hand! Cobain was just a great artist that happened to play a left handed guitar.

[Jebkorrn]

Tommy Iommi or Joe Perry.... Both are the bomb

[moose39]

A cool left handed supergroup:
Jimi Hendrix--lead guitar/vocals
Tony Iommi--lead guitar
Kurt Cobain--rhythm guitar/vocals
Paul McCartney--bass/pretty much anything that isn't drums/vocals
Phil Collins--drums/vocals.

It's a weird combination but I think it'd be pretty cool.

I gotta go with Hendrix. Amazing guitarist. His stuff is incredible.

[norters]

David Gilmour. When watched in a mirror :)

Or Hendrix.

[Slashboi]

no question, Kurt Cobain.
