My buddy Hawkeye Herman just turned me on to this wonderful guitarist from Botswana.

Fans of Led might notice a certain proclivity to playing bass runs on the "wrong" side of the neck.

She's in some kind of open Eb tuning is my first guess...

Wonderful!

So I guess this thread should be moved to the 'Ukulele section

By Golly you're right! Funny, I was so taken with the music and the left hand that I didn't notice. So much for my veracity as a witness.

Wonder if she always plays with four strings... or if it's an economics thing.

To quote Kenny Hall, "I'd rather have hamburger and old strings...."
