Very nice, TP21. Not only left handed, but his string order is reversed as well. I can't imagine playing with the high strings at the "top". I guess
if you learned that way its no big deal, but I'm still impressed.
I also found this video at the same site:

Check out who appears in the video at the 7:43 mark.
I had no idea that the Jewish community was so into Arabic music. At this same site there is an mp3 of Ifrah Ya Albi, I'm guessing translated into
Hebrew as "Yifrah Veyirbe" Is there anyone here that can shed some light on this?

Cool. I think Jimi Hendrix played guitar with the high string on top.

No, Jimi used to play with the reverse strings, basses on top and high strings on the bottom. But there are several guitar players in the west that
play lefthanded with the righthanded string order. And they make very interesting things.
Ciao, Giuseppe.
