Observation Skills godmode :)

[@johnblmccormick]

it took me a while to figure out exactly what was going on - if maybe we were seeing a mirror image of the footage. i guess it helps that the double bass is symmetrical, but i wonder if the bridge had to be modified to preserve the intonation, or even if it matters since the upright is fretless... it's fascinating how left handed players deal with playing string instruments. my brothers both insist on learning right-handed, i've seen a left-handed player who plays right handed instruments but simply flips them around to play in a left-hand position, and i've seen yet another take right-handed guitars and string them in reverse.

@@crazycodkiller You very clearly don't understand how a distorted guitar sound works. Every small detail is amplified. Playing very clean and muting properly are absolutely imperative to playing a heavily distorted guitar. A clean guitar, especially an acoustic guitar, is far more forgiving. This is coming from somebody who's playing both heavily distorted guitars and acoustic guitars (at the moment almost exclusively acoustic, actually). It's always funny to hand a heavily distorted guitar to somebody who's only played acoustic guitars before and see the horror on their face when everything they play sounds like absolute garbage. :'D
