Is that really a Palestine flag guitar? That’s fairly divisive! And I’ll say no more on the matter. I’m going to see him on Saturday.

He will sing for his supper until the day he dies. That generation including the Stones are made that way.

Yes it is. And extremely divisive.
As you say, we’d better leave that matter here as it would be unavoidably political.
You are going to the Co-op Live in Manchester, the brand new arena that was troubled with a problematic start. Hope everything will be alright and you will enjoy the show.

Your voice tonight was abysmal. Guitar playing average. Overshadowed by the other guitarist who played an upside down left handed guitar and produced far more interesting sounds than anything emitting from your rather dubious Stratocaster.
Time to hang it up Slowhand.

Dear Eric.
So tonight you decided to use the Palestine guitar for 80% of the set. And I know we aren’t supposed to talk about politics here but I’d just like to ask how the hell do you think that made any of your fans there tonight who may be Jewish feel?
For the record I’m not a Jew.
If you’re trying to appeal to the lefties, forget it as they haven’t and will never forgive you for the “Enoch was right” speech from the 1970’s.
If you’re trying to appeal to the Muslims forget it there aren’t any in your audience and besides, Music is Haram and they would execute you for playing.
Luxury beliefs from the Surrey stock broker belt.

What’s the difference between backwards and upside down? You’ve lost me there. Ok I should said he played a regular right handed guitar left handed. Many apologies.

Maybe his plan is to p!ss off a different demographic every tou, r so he'll be forced into retirement for lack of an audience.

He plays a left handed guitar because he is left handed but the guitar is strung the opposite way. With the low E where the high E would be. I believe he used to play a right handed guitar left handed but not restringing it the correct way like Hendrix would. He used to play the same way Coco Montoya does. But now he is using right handed guitars strung backwards. If you think that’s confusing Jeff Healy would play guitar on his lap but fret the guitar just by placing his hand on top of the neck and not by grabbing the neck. I’m assuming because his blindness was the reason he taught himself this way.
