List of musicians who play left-handed

This is a list of notable left-handed musicians who play their instruments naturally.

Any style of picking with the left hand (flatpicking or fingerstyle guitar) is considered playing left-handed.

The guitar is held left-handed with the high string on the top side of the neck (e.g. Bob Geldof).

A drum kit for a left-handed person is set up so that percussion instruments drummers would normally play with their right hand (ride cymbal, floor tom, etc.)

This list does not include drummers who are naturally left-handed while playing drums purely right-handed such as Ringo Starr, Stewart Copeland, Dave Lombardo, Travis Barker, Eric Carr, and Chris Adler.
