Today's Cartoon Chuckle
I think my musician friends know the feeling. 😎
I just finished reading Lenny Kaye's great semi-memoir ("Lightning Striking")...in a passing comment he says - and I paraphrase - that Gerry Marsden wore his guitar high across his chest in the Liverpool manner. The last part surprised me.
Ha! Very true.

My granddaughter is struggling with this problem right now. She took a year deciding whether to play left or right handed. All true!

And then again, George H. wore his guitar pretty high too!
DeleteI'm thinking that Chuck Berry was the template for low slung guitar.

As a non musician I'm going to ask: Does it make a difference holding the guitar higher or lower?
ReplyDeleteCaptain Al
Not really. For most it's a comfort thing. Of course, a low-slung axe looks a lot cooler...
DeleteKeef used to make fun of Lennon's guitar being up so high. I tend to agree.
