Close, distance is about right. But No, keep trying. There are only 400 or so members. Everyone will be surprised. |

Elementary, my dear Dickey. Russell posted a link to a couple of sound clips a few weeks back and I remembered them. Plus, I remembered a posting where he and Dave got together over there in the U.K. |

Ratz. Russell did me in. Rose, I did like the song. How'd you run into the Kilpatrick guy? Interesting fellow, just followed the links. |

HI Bruce Acoustic Guitar Workshop in Bristol ran an article mentioning my guitars and he contacted me via them. I've done two guitars for him so far. He is a very player, very into traditional Celtic Music, mind you we have a player of equal stature here at the OLF Colin Symonds (Colin S) is a wonderful player, I've only heard Dave White play a little bit but he is a very good player too. The left handed things easy !! I have the opposite problem 99% of what I make is right handed, I have been known to do make fingerboards etc with the inlay upside down or the side position markers on the wrong side. |

J.Brown, just put it in a photo editing software and flip it. grin. It is a little weird isn't it. I saw one guy flip a right handed guitar over and play it like that. Think about it. I bet Russell at least strings it backwards and runs the tone bars and bridge the opposite direction? Russell? |

Hi Bruce The changes are I reverse the bracing (Of course if you used a symetrical pattern like Shane you wouldn't need to). The Saddle Slot slants the other way, any inlay that is directional in the playing position needs to be reversed and the side position dots are on the other side of the fingerboard. Oh and of course the strings are the other way. Jimi Hendrix Played Right Handed Guitars, Left Handed or so I am told. |

Russell, I think he flipped it over, but restrung it top to bottom? I liked the part about him lighting it on fire onstage. I would have liked seeing him play in person. A buddie has a tape of Jimi doing a song from the VietNam era called "Machine Gun". Really interesting, and he had a drummer that had the machine gunning down to a tee. Wasn't Jimi a soldier in Nam? |

Coco Montoya plays a right handed guitar left handed with the trebles at the top, he also has no top E string. I guess when he was learning he picked up someone elses righthand guitar that had a broken top E and just learned that way. PLays some mean electric blues though, saw him with John Mayall a few years ago. Saw Hendrix a lot in the 60s as well. London in the 60s what a place to be! Colin |

[QUOTE=Dickey] You remember the sixties Colin?[/QUOTE] Some of it Bruce, some of it! A great time to be learning the guitar in London. We had the Troubadour club where Davy Graham, Martin Carthy, Bert Jansch were regulars, even saw Bob Dylan there. Early Pink Floyd at the UFO and Hendix playing Purple Haze for 1 1/2 hours at the Marquee. They don't make nostalgia like they used to. Colin |
