PS. Playing up-side down left-handed guitar will rock your mind whenever you see it. Jimmi did it with ease.

Actually, while Jimi played a right handed guitar that was "flipped over," it was strung correctly for a left hander. And that was one of the reasons he got such a distinctive sound. His strat has staggard poles on the pickups, which were set up for a normal right handed stringing, and the bass strings were longer between the nut and tuning pegs than on a standard strung strat.

However there was a blues player (Albert King, I think) that did play left handed with a standard right handed strung guitar.

Spiritual heir to Muddy Waters!

I love the MW album "Hard Again." Johnny played on it, and also got credit on the cover for "hollerin'"

I was wondering when Rick was going to show up here...

I was searching the web for some "guitar faces" of Rick while playing, but I simply couldn't find any good ones... He's a great guitarist, and he's a lot of fun to watch on stage.

Now...

Remembering that this thread is about the best "Guitar Face"... I present

Buckethead!
