Why does Fly Amero play guitar upside down?

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

No, Fly’s not upside down.  The guitar is.

If you look carefully, you can see that the thin strings (higher) are at the top in this picture.  That’s upside down from the norm.

But why?  Well, this question has generated much speculation over the years and Fly clears it up in an excellent interview on  Aurelia Nelson’s Curtain Up show this past Sunday on 104.9

Listen to a podcast of the show here.

You can see Fly tomorrow at the Rhumb Line and next Friday with his touring band Orleans at North Shore Music Theatre.

It’s another excellent week of music on Cape Ann leading up to a weekend of two sold out Tom Rush shows at Shalin Liu.  See the full live music lineup here.
