14. Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath)
The Black Sabbath legend might not be the best guitarist of all-time, but he’s certainly one of the most important. The master of the riff, Iommi’s work often has a hint of the blues. but in that, heavy, dark way. It’s safe to say his sound influenced a generation of rock and heavy metal guitarists. The 1970 Sabbath smash “Iron Man” is a perfect example of the left-handers’ talent all wrapped up in one gem.
