Yeah, it adds a whole new meaning to the phrase "soul (sole) music"!

And that would add a whole new meaning to the phrase "pickin'"!

(I never envisioned when I posted this that it would devolve so quickly.....Larry said "start a new 'talented strangely" topic", so I did)

You know, guitarman, that's a great and perceptive question!!! He's chording downwards, like you do on a dobro, with his right foot and strumming with his left. If he had arms and picked it up to play, he'd be playing it left-handed. But the guitar is strung for playing right-handed (unless you play backwards and upside-down like Elizabeth Cotton, like a lefty playing a guitar strung standard for right-handed people). So I guess my answer would be that I have no freaking idea what he is doing. But it works!!! It must be like Arlo says, something like "Understanding is overrated..... Live now, love now, enjoy now, don't wait to understand".

I remember seeing a guy on the 700 Club playing guitar with his feet some yrs ago. This reminds me of that for some reason. Very talented to do that with their feet...
