Starpeve Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 It's nice to see him wearing it so high- I always feel like a **** wearing my guitars like that, but it's the only way I can reach anything! Some players I watch must have elastic wrists to be able to sling their git so low! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 It's nice to see him wearing it so high- I always feel like a **** wearing my guitars like that, but it's the only way I can reach anything! Some players I watch must have elastic wrists to be able to sling their git so low! It's not just Lennon. Look at any pic of Harrison and you'll see he kept his guitar high as well. This has been talked about before, but I'm in the "I don't give a $hit what I look like, it's comfy up here" rather than the "I look really b itchin' with this thing below my knees" group.

charlie brown Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I too, tend to wear my guitars at a comfortable level, which is NEVER as low as some folks. I honestly don't know how they play, at all, much less as well as they do, at those low levels. Mine are worn about "mid" level, really, to maybe very slightly below. Within that parameter, it really just depends on which guitar I'm playing. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players I watch must have elastic wrists to be able to sling their git so low! Its all about the trend isn't it. Before the British invasion, all bands wore their guitar around mid level. A lot of the bands from over 'ome slung 'em high as we are mentioning with Paul and George. Now many have them around their knees. How on earth they can play like that I have no idea. Me, I'm far beyond caring what I look like now. Whatever fits is in. Same thing with clothes. Ya don't like what I'm wearing, look somewhere else.

JL could and did wear a fur coat and get away with it too. I'd just get laughed at in any event. My wrists just won't take the guitar very low. I have tried with the J-160 just under my chin almost too. Maybe could get use to that with practice? Aster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I've not changed (my guitar wearing position), in decades!

Hard to believe I actually put my SG down, long enough, to DO that! Even harder to believe, I don't play the Casino, more often! But, it still gets it's decent share!

CB You know CB, after looking at this and other images of John and George playing their Epis, I couldn't help but think that these guys are fully accomplished musicians and have the money to play and buy countless Gibsons, yet they choose to play Epiphones. Now what does that tell us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now what does that tell us? Well, John and George got their Casino's, because they loved what tones Paul was getting, with his. They ALL admitted, at one time or another, that they weren't really "Gear hounds." Although, George was probably the more inclined, that way. But, they obviously knew what sounds they liked/loved! And, don't forget, at that time, Epi's were made in the same factory, right along with their Gibson counterparts. So, the quality was identical.
