Guess who’s a lefty? British singer, songwriter and guitarist, Noel Gallagher, is left handed. What’s cool about Noel is that per Wikipedia, he’s naturally left handed, but taught himself how to play right handed guitar. Many people have succeeded in the switch in their professional careers. Lebron James is a natural lefty, but mostly plays right handed basketball. The University of Alabama’s 2018 quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa is a natural righty, but plays football left handed. This is a talent on its own. I cannot do crap with my non dominant hand. But, I’ll never say never. I’m seriously thinking about taking guitar or drum lessons. Maybe I’ll try my hand at this ambidextrous thing.

Check out Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds perform a medley of songs. Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds formed in 2010 as the solo career of Noel Gallagher. Noel was formerly the lead guitarist and songwriter for Oasis, an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1991.

We are very pleased to add Noel Gallagher to our left handed celebrities list.

Here’s a short snippet of his biography per Wikipedia:

“Noel Thomas David Gallagher (born 29 May 1967) is a British singer, songwriter and guitarist. He served as the lead guitarist, co-lead vocalist and principal songwriter of the English rock band Oasis. Raised in Burnage, Manchester, Gallagher began learning guitar at the age of thirteen. After a series of odd jobs in construction, he worked for local Manchester band Inspiral Carpets as a roadie and technician in 1988. Whilst touring with them, he learned that his younger brother Liam Gallagher had formed a band of his own, known as the Rain, which eventually took on the name Oasis. After Gallagher returned to England, he was invited by his brother to join Oasis as songwriter and guitarist.

Oasis’ debut album, Definitely Maybe (1994), marked the beginning of the band’s rise to fame as part of the Britpop movement. Oasis’ second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995), reached the top of the album charts in many countries and their third studio album, Be Here Now (1997), became the fastest-selling album in UK chart history. Britpop eventually declined in popularity and Oasis’ next two albums failed to revive it. However, the band’s final two albums, Don’t Believe the Truth (2005) and Dig Out Your Soul (2008), were hailed as its best efforts in over a decade and found renewed success. In 2009, following an altercation with Liam, Noel Gallagher announced his departure from Oasis and confirmed he would embark on a solo career.[ Gallagher would go on to form Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, with whom he has released three studio albums.”
