He's a force of nature. That sound is apocolyptic!

Was that guitar historian Tom Wheeler doing the into?

Great clip! I thought the 2nd guitar added a lot - and I like the backing band - maybe a little more 60's D.D. sounding?

OK, please forgive this nube question...but has he always played a left-handed guitar WITH it strung backwards? That is a left-handed strat, and he has high E on top, right?

Yes Bill, DD is self taught and has always played like that. Pretty crazy huh? Smile
