Elizabeth "Libba" Cotten was an American blues and folk musician, singer, and songwriter. Self-taught and having no knowledge of conventional guitar tunings (e.g. standard 'EADGBE' tuning or any established open tunings), Cotten developed her own original style. Her approach to left-handed guitar playing involved keeping the guitar in standard tuning but holding it upside down. This position required her to play the bass lines with her fingers and the melody with her thumb.

- Elizabeth "Libba" Cotten was an American blues and folk musician, singer, and songwriter. Self-taught and having no knowledge of conventional guitar tunings (e.g. standard 'EADGBE' tuning or any established open tunings), Cotten developed her own original style. Her approach to left-handed guitar playing involved keeping the guitar in standard tuning but holding it upside down. This position required her to play the bass lines with her fingers and the melody with her thumb. Her signature, alternating bass style has become known as "Cotten picking".
- Elizabeth "Libba" Cotten war eine einflussreiche US-amerikanische Folk- und Blues-Musikerin. Einem weiteren Publikum bekannt wurde sie erst im Alter von weit über 60 Jahren. Die Songs der Grammy-Gewinnerin wurden von so bekannten Bands und Musikern wie Pete Seeger, Peter, Paul and Mary und Grateful Dead aufgenommen. Ihr Stück Ain't Got No Honey Baby Now wurde 1940 von Blind Boy Fuller als Lost Lover Blues eingespielt.
- Elizabeth Cotten, dites Libba, née le 5 janvier 1895 et morte le 29 juin 1987, fut une musicienne américaine de blues et de folk. Son originalité tient notamment au fait qu'elle était autodidacte et ne connaissait pas les techniques musicales conventionnelles. Gauchère, elle avait la particularité de tenir sa guitare à l'envers, ce qui l'obligeait à jouer les basses de ses doigts et les mélodies de son pouce. Sa technique spéciale fut nommée Cotten Picking.
- Elizabeth «Libba» Cotten var en amerikansk folkemusiker.
