I love it! A lefty playing a right handed guitar. Lefties rule!

Lefty: Not only am I gonna rock your right handed world, I'm going to do it with your own right handed and strung guitar!!

a left-handed guitar. Jimi Hendrix played a standard Strat turned upside down; not this guy.

At second glance it is indeed a left handed cutout but it's strung righty. The low E string is on the bottom.

I was just talking about him on the bus last night on the way home.

Dick Dale's going to be performing in Dallas.

It's amazing to me how few people know who he is.

He pretty much invented the beach sound the Beach Boys destroyed.

He discovered power chording that been so essential to heavy metal.

But he's never been "approved" by simon cowell.

a few years back. Great show and I can't wait to see him again!

Dick Dale is a weird guy. I remember reading an interview with him once where he kept referring to himself in the third person and claiming that he was the greatest (and loudest) guitarist that ever lived.
