For today’s train song of the day, here’s Elizabeth Cotten with PeteSeeger performing Freight Train. Guitar pickers will notice right away that she plays guitar left-handed by simply turning it upside down, putting the high strings at the top.
Here’s a nice (but short) version by Peter Lang and John Fahey.
Finally, here’s a really strange take on the song by Duane Eddy.
Thanks for the vids, particularly Elizabeth Cotten who I hadn’t seen before. Who needs actual left handed guitars when you can just adapt and not even bother to restring!!
