Awesome Upside Down Guitar Playing

Came across this on YouTube. Not a CBG, but it seems in the spirit of making up your own rules so I thought people on here might be interested?

glad you're all enjoying it!...hadn't seen August Rush but after those last two comments I've now checked out that guitar bit, thanks : -)

A great example of the magic of open tuning. That bass run down the neck is the bomb! Early African music is rhythm based. Very percussive. The way she is using her hands is more like drumming the guitar than plucking or strumming.

The movie August Rush brought a lot of attention to this approach to playing:

Thanks for sharing. Enjoy.
