Playing a right handed guitar left handed and upside down. What kind of brain did that man have?
Dick Dale played the strings upside down.... Hendrix just the guitar body upside down and restrung.
see the fat strings?

Now for the absolute best of a guitar that you can actually hear the melody of the tune along with the best guitar playing ever done.

I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

roverboy;
Good evening to you sir, I hope the weekend was a good one for you and all who matter in your life are well.
Best, as has been mentioned is for sure subjective and although I used to fool around some on the guitar, I am in no way qualified to judge.
If you've never heard these two together, I hope you think it's time well spent.
They're both gone now of course.

Edit to add;
Jeff on his own.

All the best and God bless.

Yep. Took a second look at his guitars. Would have sworn his were reverse strung with the “fat strings” on bottom.

Certainly a qualifying performance that always comes to my mind. Plus he wrote a song about writing a song, pure genius!
Since the question was asked about Rock/Blues, Peter Green should be considered.

Greats in another genre also come to mind. Chet Atkins was incredible and made it look easy. And a really off the wall to some folks is Roy Clark (think Hee Haw). Roy could have gone in any direction he wanted with guitar. Just a thought.

Him and his Harley got in a fight with a peach truck. He lost. Thus the album Eat A Peach. Shameful waste.
