I recall we once estimated that about a third of the members of this forum play that way.

yet another one...lol
I really like that beautiful jam. looks so normal going up the strings and up the neck rather than down the strings and up the neck :P

but funky? naw.
this funky motown song was redone probably 1000 different ways?.... this is version # 1001 inverted style.

Yeah, I contacted him. We're supposed to do an interview over Skype this evening. I'm curious to hear more about his background and reasoning for choosing this topic for his dissertation.

I'll post an update afterward.

Just got done Skyping with AJ, cool guy and one of us. He's compiled a very big list of other upside down lefties too!

Post subject:  Re: For you guys that play lefty strung righty

You know, there seems to be quite a few of us freaks around here. :lol:

I suppose most of you, like I, have come up with "interesting" techniques to try and accomplish what our normally-strung brethren have done, or possibly ventured off into our own little thing. Is there any interest in starting another thread to share tips/tricks/techniques for us inverted-lefties? I'd be happy to contribute whatever I can.
