What has Duck Done with his E string? ;-)

[KiOgon]

Good old photo' of Duck & his P, but where's the E string?

[Clarky]

Isn't that just a trick of the slightly upwards angle of the photo? Its exactly along the top edge of the board (there's no binding as evidenced by G board edge). He is bending the A slightly away from the E so the gap looks artificially large

Is that a giant olive falling infront of his face?

Is the right answer I looked at it for a long time before it dawned on me though

Duck doesn't need 4 strings to sound good :-)

... and having just played the A string, his finger is resting against the E string and pushing it slightly towards the edge of the fingerboard.

That's it now, I'm gettin' a pipe.

He looks like Jack Osbourne.

Is that a banable offence?

Of course all the purists will point out how bad his technique is with the thumb over the top, he's clearly never going to make it as a pro...
