it's true... if a right handed dude played a lefty upside down it would produce the same awesome sound...

Freddie shows you how to play the blues.

The first close up of Fred Below Ive seen! William Clark, who I met in early 90s n Chattanooga told me he had known Freddie. Clarke's drummer loved & copied Fred best as he could Frank Beard (ZZ Top) has a direct connection to Freddie as well. Mr. Clarke also mentioned Sam Lay as being one of the greatest blues drummers. I got a copy of Smoke Stack Lightning (Howling Wolf) and I think Fred Below is on it. Originally, jazz drummer from Chicago.

Ya,Lefty,playing a right handed archtop,w/ the strings still righty. I'm a lefty,& it's hard to find those old axes lefty. So,I too will play em' upside down.The advantage is, by strumming down,you pick up an interesting sound. No way i could even a candle next to this guy. He was Great!!! Had a stroke in 94' Don't play no more. God bless him @ 74' Holy crap,that rhymes!!
