Malasian born Man keedal is a left handed guitarist. He has a strong Yngwie Malmsteen influence to his playing.

Man Keedal is well known as one of the earlier generation guitar heroes in Malaysia. A left-handed guitarist who plays a normal Fender Strat upside down ala Hendrix, he was the founder of the legendary local rock group, 'Lefthanded' in the 80's, which is still actively touring at present.

His playing style has always been described as neo-classical, though he is versatile enough to venture into different realms and musical genres, be it when performing in his own outfit or during sessions. His influences include Ritchie Blackmore, Jimi Hendrix, and Yngwie Malmsteen to name a few. He has performed and shared the same bill with Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Mr. Big and Andy Timmons throughout his career.

Besides performing with Lefthanded and playing sessions, he is currently performing in his solo outfit, 'Man Keedal and Friends' and is currently producing an instructional video.
