Left Handed Celebrities | Paul McCartney

Well lookey lookey...at who's a lefty...Paul McCartney.  Paul McCartney is left handed. He's a lefty and plays the guitar left handed!  According to Wikipedia, Paul McCartney first tried playing right-handed, but was making no progress. He saw a picture of Slim Whitman playing left-handed and realized that it was necessary to reverse the guitar, pick with the left hand, and reverse the strings.  We're so glad that he did.  

If you don't know who Paul McCartney is, chances are you are truly living under a rock. Not a rock, but under a freaking mountain miles under the earth.  He's been in the public eye ever since March 1957 with the Beatles. The Beatles was an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. With members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they became widely regarded as the foremost and most influential music band in history.

We are just ecstatic to add Sir Paul McCartney to our left handed celebrity list.
