Another class in guitar techniques: Beautiful control of the melodic lines.

The fact that you're left handed and string the guitar with low e on top makes it really easy for me to see your playing as a mirror to mine. Doyle Bramhall flips the guitar over to fret with his right hand but does NOT re-string the right handed guitar. When he toured with Eric Clapton, Eric would stops repeatedly and ask him to show him what he just played and
Eric would realize it was something he'd been playing for years. But he could see the shoes with the guitar upside down and backwards. The backwards helps but the upside down doesn't (low E on the bottom).

Nice noodling! What guitar is that? (brand/model?) I like the color of it!

It's an Ernie Ball Luke guitar with EMG pickups. The "Luke" is Steve Lukather's signature guitar.

@McD yeah, it's a great advantage to watch a lefty playing with the guitar strung "proper" I wonder if there are any lefty YouTube instructors about. It would certainly make learning new techniques much easier!

Perhaps Flo could do some instructional videos for us! I know he'll remind us he is self-taught, but he still has a great deal to offer. Hell, I might even learn French!

BTW I saw the only disadvantage to playing the Luke upside down — Flo was really stretching to reach those high frets with the cutaway on top instead of where it would normally be.

I think I saw that same Clapton/Bramhall II tour back in the 2000's. My first time seeing Clapton and was totally disappointed. He would play a great older song, the crowd would go wild, and then he'd play four of five of his "elevator Muzak" hits. Bramhall was awesome opening. Totally blew Clapton off the stage.

Flo's Luke isn't just a Luke ! It's a very rare limited edition : the Dargie Delight II (which I've been looking for for years... with no success 😢)

No... I'm looking for the one with the "cocktail glasses" inlays 😉. The exact same one that Flo owns 👍🏻... but I think I will never find one.

Yes... my bad... one extra "I" that IS the big difference 👍🏻
