Editing Ambidexterity (section)

==In music==
In [[drum and bugle corps (modern)|drum and bugle corps]] (and drum and bell corps), snare drummers, quads (tenors), and bass drummers need to be somewhat ambidextrous. Since they have to abide by what the composer/arranger has written, they have to learn to play evenly in terms of dynamics and speed with their right and left hands. The drummer of [[The Beatles]], [[Ringo Starr]], is left-handed, but plays a right-handed [[drum kit]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-02-09 |title=Ringo Starr: 5 Reasons The Beatles Drummer Is A Genius - Drumeo Beat |url=https://www.drumeo.com/beat/beatles-ringo-starr-drumming-genius/#:~:text=1.-,Ringo%20has%20a%20unique%20drumming%20style,fills%20leading%20with%20his%20left. |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=Free Online Drum Magazine {{!}} The Drumeo Beat |language=en}}</ref> American instrumental guitarist [[Michael Angelo Batio]] is known for being able to play both right-handed and left-handed guitar proficiently.<ref>{{Cite web |author1=Matt Owen |date=2021-12-13 |title=Guitarist who relearned to play left-handed returns with ambidextrous playthrough using Michael Angelo Batio's double-sided Sawtooth signature |url=https://www.guitarworld.com/news/philippe-drouin-the-first-light-playthrough |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=guitarworld |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Video: Ambidextrous Guitarists – Guitar-Muse.com |url=https://guitar-muse.com/video-ambidextrous-guitarists-6397 |access-date=2025-02-18 |language=en-US}}</ref> The ambidexterity of [[Jimi Hendrix]] has been explored in a psychology, but he was known for playing a standard right-handed guitar flipped to make it left-handed.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hawker |first=Alex |date=2023-02-25 |title=Why Did Jimi Hendrix Play His Guitar Upside Down |url=https://www.musicianshalloffame.com/why-did-jimi-hendrix-play-his-guitar-upside-down/#:~:text=Something%20that%20many%20people%20do,more%20natural%20with%20his%20left. |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=The Most Famous Left-Handed Guitarists of All Time |url=https://www.positivegrid.com/blogs/positive-grid/left-handed-guitarists |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=Positive Grid |language=en}}</ref> The guitarist [[Duane Allman]] was the reverse of Hendrix, being left-handed and playing right-handed guitars.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Guitar |first=Adirondack |title=Left Handed Guitarists Who Learned to Play Right Handed |url=https://www.adkguitar.com/blogs/news/left-handed-guitarists-who-learned-to-play-right-handed?srsltid=AfmBOoqOTZhmQsS0V5pVLCrJPWP0GcXNa-Hi8XxE4P0R5F88StvM1cA- |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=Adirondack Guitar |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=10 Famous Left-Handed Guitarists Who Play Right-Handed |url=https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/articles/features/10_famous_left-handed_guitarists_who_play_right-handed-40457 |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=www.ultimate-guitar.com |language=en}}</ref> [[Shara Lin]] is naturally left-handed, but plays the violin and guitar right handed.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/TlBq7eyCnis Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20170208005307/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlBq7eyCnis Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlBq7eyCnis|title=大黃蜂電吉他矇眼版|last=iamSharaLin|date=13 July 2013|via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Lin can also play the piano with her left hand while playing the [[zither]] with her right.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/CiVlAevviq8 Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20110507115121/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiVlAevviq8 Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiVlAevviq8|title=超正點女子一人樂坊演奏 [舞孃]_Taiwan Artist - Shara Lin 林逸欣|last=layla19781101|date=3 May 2011|via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
