dmccombe7 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I used to be in a Beatles tribute too. Had the wig but the outfit and guitar needed some work. It was actually a Beatles guitar. 😂😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he was older and bought the Beatles stuff, I ended up having to get Frank Ifield and Freddie and the Dreamers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think every family had a Seekers album or single in the house 😀 My mother generally had popular songs from the radio. She did have an old Platters album which i just loved the harmonies. She was also a bit of an Elvis fan but most women probably liked Elvis back in 50's Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of Mrs Ubits brothers is left handed and he learned right handed guitar. He is incredible and could have had a professional career in music if he hadn't decided he would rather have a family.

EssentialTension Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 It's quite normal for classically trained players to play right-handed - even if they are left-handed in everyday life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 One thing that twisted my melon was the left-handed John Sykes lookalikey in a Lizzy trib, who played left handed, but with the strings upside down, too - his solos sounded right but looked allll wrong. When I chatted to him he said he'd learned by borrowing his brother's guitar and, because nobody had told him otherwise, just flipped it over.

Jimmy Haslip bassist from Yellowjackets i think was the same. Amazing soloist too but not sure how he manages to do his slap style.
