            True, but it looks like it's strung upside-down. I guess he picked a guitar up, flipped it over and went after it. . Must have been the way he learned.......sort of.

            Well, I was right. About 2:30 mark.

              Music legend Dick Dale talks about the early days, his association with Leo Fender and the new Dick Dale Signature Acoustic Guitar from Fender.

              dick tells how he started.

                I spent my sophomore year in high school in Hawaii and his music was everywhere. More so than even the Beach Boys. The British rock stars had just begun to come onto the music scene. I haven't heard any of his music in quite a while. I really loved his guitar sound. Unique and ground breaking.

                      I've seen videos of Jimi playing both lefty-strung guitars and righty-strung guitars. Someone said he didn't much care - he just played.
