Taking the Hendrix Legacy to the Next Level: Eric Gales, “Little Wing”
This is how you play a guitar upside-down. The audio recording ain’t perfect, but damn, what a jam.

This is how it works. People should know this, but many don’t. (Or pretend they don’t.) https://t.co/AqfF1KcTKr

Stupid right wing fools really think that the former staffer that alleged Trump kissed her against her wishes being black somehow proves he’s not racist. There’s a lot of stupid thinking about race out there.
So many guitarists attempt to play Hendrix, and end up embarrassing themselves. And ‘Little Wing’ is the Jimi song that gets butchered most often.
Gales doesn’t have to worry about that. Next level, indeed.
For those of you I may have CLed in the last thread.
Thanks for your messages of support. It means a lot to me.

That version of Little Wing was certainly a journey.

Just think what he could do if he turned the guitar right side up!

I knew a guy that played upside down, normal stringing (like Gales) and used the tip of his index finger for picking. He was lighting fast too. I couldn’t watch too closely as it confused me. I don’t know how he did it.

I got my short-lived record deal with a guitarist who played upside-down on a right-handed guitar. It was fascinating to watch. Because of how he approached bending strings, he did things while soloing that us righties couldn’t do.
And the weird thing is that I’m left-handed at everything - except playing guitar.

One of the guys I used to play with a lot was left handed but played guitar right handed like you. He picked it up that way because the guitars available to him when younger were all right-handed.
The guy that played upside down used to pick up his brother’s right-handed guitars and learned on them. But he was determined to pick with his left hand and chord with the right. Figured it all out.

Same here. My dad, brother and three uncles all played rightie. I just figured that was how it was done.
Are Michael Tracey and Aaron Mate illiterate or is it an act? I mean that seriously.

They’re intentionally thick.
I think Bros like Tracey scoff at the Russia investigation because they know that Putin’s played them too.

Sad you play word games. The issue is Trump and his gang abiding by and abetting a Russian attack on democracy. And yes, Manafort colluded with Russian interests. And George Pap tried to set up back channel to Putin’s office while Kremlin was intervening in US election. https://t.co/cXgbma9Oxx

In Scotland, @realDonaldTrump fought the Scottish govt over a windfarm that would alter the view from his golf course. He lost. Now, a court says he’s also got to pay his opponents’ legal fees. https://t.co/o7Ad4Qmbpp

I really hope when this is all over. People like these guys are discredited too.

It’ll be years, if ever, before Trump pays anything; you know he’s going to pull the “sovereign immunity” card as long as he’s POTUS.

Yeah, but his business, Trump Organization is not being run by the president, so they claim. Meaning Trump Organization can’t argue sovereign immunity.

Doesn’t mean the greedy old skinflint won’t still try it, though.

Also doesn’t mean he’ll succeed. And if he does, that ruling can be used here in lawsuits like the one against his DC hotel.
Trump tries to claim the hush-money payments were Cohen’s doing - not his, telling Hannity: “He did and he made the decision. Remember this, he’s an attorney - whatever decision he makes, you’re supposed to rely on your attorney to make a decision. … It’s also called reliance.”

Sean Hannity to Trump in tonight’s interview, on Michael Cohen and the hush-money payments: “I can tell you personally, he said to me at least a dozen times, that he made the decision on the payments and he didn’t tell you.”

Yeah, and then there’s that Trump check with the signature that Cohen presented.

Subpoena his dopey ass. Let him say that under oath. I got a fresh 20 that says he’d hedge right off of saying it again.

THAT IS NOT HOW THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP WORKS
An attorney’s job is to give you advice, particularly with respect to the legality and/or lawfulness of certain actions. The attorney does not make major decisions like that. Clients have the ultimate say on things like settlements and payments. An attorney CANNOT settle a client’s case without the client’s consent. Attorneys make decisions like “we need to file a complaint” or “we should handle this in private mediation or arbitration” or “this is the discovery we need”. They will give advice on what they think the value of a case is, but if a client wants to accept less or demand more… the attorney has to abide by that decision.
