And Jimi Hendrix was very well known for playing the guitar pretty much any way and configuration he wanted to (or needed to), but BY FAR the VAST majority of the time, he played a right-handed strat, strung left-handed.

Mike Seeger brought her to Mpls. both times, I think. That is Pete Seegers brother. Another time she was not feeling well, so he came alone and gave a concert. That was nice. It was just like it was yesterday, but it must have been a long time ago.

This is the first time I have seen Elizabeth Cotten playing, it's simply amazing. I knew she played a right hand strung guitar upside down because I heard Ramblin' Jack Elliot talk about it. He tells the story about how, when she was a young girl, she wasn't allowed to play guitar. So when the house was empty she used to sneak a go on her brothers guitar which was right handed but she was left handed. So she learned to play a right handed guitar in the left hand position.If you are a guitarist (and/or gave her a thumbs down) give it a try.

Playing a right handed guitar 🎸 left handed without rearranging the strings. How awesome is that. And great playing as well.

There is a statue of her on the South Side of Syracuse NY, sadly hidden from the public passing. Her son, Pastor Larry Ellis passed away a few years back. A man also after God's own heart.

I pay my respect to Mrs. Rosetta Tharpe and Mrs. Elizabeth Cotten for their contribution to the american musical culture. I am pretty sure that there are others that I have not heard of, but thanks to youtube, at least I enjoy the music of these two fine ladies. Amazing talents of the past. I am just mesmerized with their music. Clearly the people who dislike these videos lack of good taste or have another agenda.

Yes it is very lovely. I know it’s off subject, but look at how beautiful and youthful her hands look! I have noticed this in several musicians, violinists ect. I wonder if playing an instrument is the reason?
