It's no reason to be famous, there are tons of left-handed people (including most of my Dad's side of my family... I'm right-handed, though)

I know.
But my brother talked about Jim being famous for something. It had to do with his left hand. I don't remember though xD

Jen, I have no idea what that means XD

I looked it up, this is what I found.
Hendrix played left-handed, much to the chagrin of his father, who believed that playing left-handed was a sign of the Devil! As Jimi's brother witnessed, Jimi played right-handed when his dad was present. After the elder Hendrix left the room, Jimi would use his famous left hand. Jimi wrote with his right hand, however.
Hendrix was capable of playing guitars with his right and left hands. He also was able to play right-handed guitars without restringing. This unusual skill often served Jimi well: On many occasions he "auditioned" guitars in music stores -- where left-handed axes are not usually plentiful.
Though Hendrix did indeed play right-handed Fender Stratocasters upside down (with the strings restrung for lefty position), he did own at least one left-handed Stratocaster. Hendrix also owned a left-handed 'Flying V' guitar, which he played periodically.

Ambidextrous means you can use both your right and left hands equally.
Re: The Official Nonsense Thread - gothika - 10-04-2009 09:33 PM
Ah! YES.
He was famous for being able to play with both.
