Ah, I see

Hendrix style.....

Rev. Jesse. broke his ankle, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 12:31, archived)

I meant Electric Lady Land

I was listening to Purple haze as I was writing, so I got confused

Oh a Hendrix discussion.

I apologise for jumping in with both feet but I would advise being a bit different and listening to Band Of Gypsies Live at Filmore. Top stuff.

I recommend listening

To Stellarstar - My Coco

I got a feeling it will be huge, just as I thought Franz would be.

(

karatesausage, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 12:41, archived)

I dont really listen to

anything released in the last 25 years or so with the exception of funky house which my flat mate DJ's with. I'm listening to Ten Years After - Stonedhenge at the moment. I thought Franz were a little gimmicky and stealing a riff from Led Zepplin, no matter how funky isnt gonna win them favour with me.

funny thing is....

I've got Kirsty McColl's "Electric Land Lady" album....

(Mr Joe Bangles, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 14:23, archived)

It's a right handed huitar.

I guess he's strung it backwards.

(

Stickman_ben, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 12:30, archived)

like hendrix

:o)

(

Rev. Jesse. broke his ankle, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 12:32, archived)

Hendrix was right handed

but he used to turn the guitar upside down and play with the bass strings at the bottom.

He was a genius

Hence my post...

Have you got "are you experienced" it's supoib. Epoch-making, even.

Now give me that tenner...

karatesausage, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 12:36, archived)

thats playing left handed on

a right handed guitar.

(

Polly Carbonate, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 12:37, archived)

I got his hands mixed up.

But he's still playing with bass strings on the bottom....

That's £5 for me being half wrong.

(

karatesausage, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 12:39, archived)

nah he had the nut changed round

so that the strings were the right way up

(

Polly Carbonate, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 12:41, archived)

Ok...

I'm gonna go upstairs and take a photo of one of my albums just to prove it.
I'll reply to this in 5 minutes...

bass strings on top

Mind you - this pic has obviously been mirror reversed.

(gamera, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 12:54, archived)

i saw dick dale do that

but i'm pretty sure the close ups of hendrix at woodstock & monterey have a rh guitar but restrung.

(gamera, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 12:39, archived)

He was left

handed but used a re-strung right handed guitar. Apparently he also had unusually long digits and could hook his thumb over the fret board and play along to bass notes as well as mixing rythmn and lead with his other four fingers. Ive also heard some other pretty amazing stuff about what he was rumoured to be capable of with a guitar. Like getting 32 individual sounds from one note or something.

(

Nimble Colin camera-wrangling, globe-trotting whisky enthusiast, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 12:41, archived)

He could also

Play with his teeth. I was told that by my Office Manager. Is that true?

(

karatesausage, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 12:44, archived)

Yep,

and there is footage of him playing while rolling over backwards on stage. Also played behind his back but that pales in comparison to most things he could do. Ive read in several books the observers noticed he was incredibly well hung too but I doubt that affected his playing ability too much.

(

Nimble Colin camera-wrangling, globe-trotting whisky enthusiast, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 12:46, archived)

i can believe that

he's got very big fingers

(

Polly Carbonate, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 12:49, archived)

you must have seen that bit

of footage, always shown with the ingenious use of ones flies.. and the infamous behind the head murderation of the 'StarSpangledBanner'....

(Elusive Squirrel, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 12:50, archived)

Murderation?

I like that. Most people dont, i played it loudly at 9am last year in student halls and buggered to the kitchen and when I came back someone had been in my room and physically cut the speaker cables with a pair of pliers. Bastards.

i've got a left-handed guitar strung right-handed

(genuinely)

Most b3tan animal musicans are left handed. I've been taking note.
