I CALL IT "BORROWED GUITAR SYNDROME"

Sorry to bang on about guitars again, but happened upon a music video (don't worry, you only need to watch the first twenty seconds) for the band Air Supply and was struck by the fact that Graham Russell plays a right-handed guitar upside-down. As someone who used to play that way (learned on my brother's guitar) and then finally 25 years later forced myself to re-learn on a lefty strung guitar, it fills me with an equal mixture of sympathy and admiration. Because it looks really bloody awkward to me now.
