Was Jimmy Hendrix ambidextrious or left-handed?

Answer 1

He was "right handed" if you watch the film "When You're Strange" you will see Jim signing Autographs and striking a match with his "right" hand. Also, in the music video"Touch Me" You will see Jim shaking the maraca with his 'right" hand, 2 minuets and 36 second into the video.

I did a Google search, and several sites claim Jim Morrison was left handed. The above entry states he was right handed, which the writer claims can be proven in the movie, "When You're Strange", because Jim Morrison is seen striking a match with his right hand, and signing autographs with his right hand.

I think he is left handed for the following reasons:

#1) When he is driving in the mustang in the above movie (he is the driver), you see a flesh colored mole (barely visible) on his RIGHT cheek, near his nose.

#2) Throughout other portions of this film, when you see a closeup of his face the mole now appears on the LEFT side of his face. How did this happen? I think that the film is shown reversed in some parts. I've heard that sometimes this happens when film is spliced together--so you are actually seeing a mirror image of the person in some scenes. I'm not saying that all the scenes were spliced together backwards, but this would explain why the mole next to his nose (clearly on the right cheek while driving the mustang) switched over to his left cheek.

3) If you look at his handwriting (or printing) of his poetry in the above film, it most definitely looks like left handed printing.

Answer 2

he was left-handed
